my precious Susie

30^th March

Today hasn’t been easy. Tomorrow is Julian’s consultancy so today was never going to be easy. But then we are not promised an easy ride, or skies ever blue. This morning Charles preached in church from Hebrews 1 on the need to persevere. How easy to feel like giving up, to give way to the disappointments of life. But the Son of God never gave up on His journey, even though He was weary. He goes ahead of us and illuminates the path and He sends friends to brighten the way and lighten the load. This entry is a tribute to my dear friend Susie. She called me up and suggested a walk, so on the evening of mothering Sunday we walked over the Lea Valley Park, watched the reflection of the trees in the lake and then turned and walked back into the setting sun. It was the first evening of Summer time, the blossom was starry white on the blackthorn, the birds were in full chorus, and we prayed and uplifted each other. No one will ever replace Susie but I ask the Lord that He will provide a friend for her once we are moved and also that I will find a dear Christian friend down in Tiddleywink. Thankyou Susie.
