Recently I have developed a bronchial problem. I have had to sit up at night in our lounge room .It has two large glass window doors facing our back garden . In our back area we have lovely fruit trees and a vegie garden and a bird pond for visiting birds,including two ducks. Two wooden lounges for us to sit on on a fine afternoon ,to read our books and have a snooze.At night nothing in our lovely black yard is visible, simply dark shadows till morning when the light makes it all real again.On reflection I am reminded of Paul ’s vision as he reflects on the meaning of life in his Letter to the Corinthians.For now we see life in a mirror, dimly ,but then we shall see face to face.Now I know only in part, then I will know fully even as I have been fully known.ånd now faith, hope ,and love ,these three abide.And the greatest of these is love .[1 st Corinthians 13:12,13]
Now I can prop up my pillows and drift off to sleep ,sure in the knowledge that the morning will come and all will be well in this life and in the next.
