Home Sweet Home

Had plans to be in Glossop with my Mum and Dad this weekend but seems not many of us will be going anywhere except the heroes for which it is essential. It’s been just the worst two days at work and my last for what looks like a long time, having been temporarily laid off due to COVID-19. There weren’t many of us who didn’t have a weep during those two days, all with our own reasons and circumstances. It was just heartbreaking to say goodbye to the children on Friday who have no idea what’s going to hit them and I’m sure will spend next week confused as to why they’re not going to nursery as normal. Spent today hatching up a plan to let them still see ours and each other’s faces over the coming weeks via the wonders of modern technology and maybe bring a little relief to a few exasperated parents.
As for me, when overwhelmed with fear and sadness I will remind myself of this...

Psalm 46 v 1
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
