Stuffy nose, blocked sinuses, headache, sore throat...it must be that serious 'Man flu'. As I try and be brave 🤣it made me ponder on the Holy Spirit, how at a time
when I am finding it difficult to breathe, the Holy Spirit can still always sustain and energise me, breathing new life into me.
Whilst taking lots of rest, drinking fluids, steam inhalation, nasal sprays, and lozenges can help my physical body to recover, it is the Holy Spirit that enables me to be the best person that I can be....my conscience, to keep me on the right path, to comfort me, to help me in my weakness and give strength, to enable me to display the fruits of the Spirit, even at times when it feels difficult, or I just want to go back to bed and pull the duvet over me.
Today, I wish to give thanks to God for sending the Holy Spirit, working in me and those whom I meet, which reminds me that if we open our hearts, our minds and our souls, we have all we need to live each day to the best of our abilities, to be as God wants us to be, to reflect God's glory in so many ways from just a simple caring conversation to a loving act of kindness...
Oh, and before I forget, I also give thanks for handkerchiefs and decongestants!!!
