What shall I cry.

 Comfort, O comfort my people says your God. Isaiah 40:1

I see the spring growth of the grass already browning off and dying in the summer heat and the first flush of the roses, glorious in their time are fading, dropping petals and coming to the end of their life. Nothing is for ever and our hearts can be anxious living in a world of China tensions, climate change, bushfires and a killer disease. All a threat to our existence as is aging, but the one thing that will stand forever, and will sustain us for ever is the fact that God is an everlasting God who holds our gaze and his word will stand forever, nothing can blot that out.  ' The grass withers, the flower fades but the  word of our God will stand forever. 'Isaiah 40:8.  If ever there is a time to read Isaiah it is now.

May the Lord of Peace himself give you peace at all times and in all ways.

Anne, servant of the Lord
