Thought for the Day by Debi Jakeman (BH Member)

Picture
​In a lot of ways, life is the same as before lockdown.
I’m not able to work due to back and hip problems, so I spend a fair amount of time at home. Gaz (husband) is ‘retired’ so he’s at home a fair bit usually as well. We’re fortunate to have plenty of space outside, so Gaz continues to enjoy the sun and I potter about planting seeds in pots and wait to see what grows.
I visit my mum locally most days, as she needs help with some things & our 2 dogs are still as bonkers.
What isn’t the same, is all the interaction with people that I usually have. I can’t be with or hug my friends, I can’t go to the two care homes that I visit as a volunteer for Brighton & Hove City Mission Rest Homes team, or visit the lady I befriend in one of them. I can’t go to BH, Small Group, the prayer meeting etc. I don’t need to bake (my passion and pain distraction therapy) for anyone other than the two of us and my Mum. At times, it actually feels physically painful not to be able to be with others or do my normal things.
BUT, what has been truly wonderful, is all the new ways to communicate/participate that have become our new ‘normal’. Our Sunday services online almost from the start of lockdown, have been wonderful in keeping me feeling connected to all my church family in what feels a very personal way. Phil’s voice is very comforting I find. Online ‘Zoom’ Prayer meetings, Small Group meetings, prayer triplet meet ups etc. where I can see and hear people, are proving invaluable and a couple have helped to stop me going completely mad with the frustration of this new way of living. I’ve also remembered that paper, cards and stamps still exist.
I’m sure there’s lots of other things that are the same and different now in this time of Lockdown, but the thing I hold onto most is this:
Hebrews 13:8  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and 
today and forever” for which I am truly grateful.
​Debi
