Spinal musings

 

Yesterday, I thought my back pain was lessening. This morning, I am stiffer than ever. What is it with sore backs? What is the key to complete healing?

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. This morning I was thinking about the darkness of violence and unrest which is sweeping across the planet just now. And I was encouraged by that verse. However dark things appear, Jesus is the light and he is in control.

I offer up the darkness of an injured spine and muscles in spasm, and I pray that the light will shine in that darkness, leading me to wise decisions in how I move and what I do today.

Whatever transpires, this is a glorious, autumnal day: frosty overnight, clear blue skies this morning and one of our glorious cock-pheasants looking for tidbits on the drive.

Thank you, Jesus. This is the day which you have made, a gift and a wonder.
