Mary and I usually meet at 9 on Monday and Friday and walk
together for an hour. Same route, down the road and back.
She was running late this morning, so we were delayed by
about ten minutes, during which time I watched from my prayer window as the farmer
moved his large herd of cows up the road and into the field round Mary’s house.
Had we been walking on time, we’d have been in the middle of that herd of cows
and calves. A daunting prospect.
Today Queen Elizabeth II will be laid to rest. A wonderful
Christian woman, selfless in her service. I pray that whatever the plans are
for the services today, with an unprecedented number of world leaders and
public well-wishers converging on Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and
Windsor, that the Lord will be in the detail of the day, occasioning delays if
needed to avoid any malicious intent.
May she rest in peace, and may her bereaved family have time
and space to grieve in private.
