A Psalm for times of change (2)



Psalm 121 v.8

The Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.


So far the going has been harder than the coming. We have lived in The Netherlands for 8 years, and had to say goodbye to people and places that have been very special for us. As we cleared the house and sold our furniture, we remembered the happy times we spent there as a family. As we worshipped together with our spiritual family in church for the last time, we looked back on years of blessing, challenge, friendship and significance.

In all the goodbyes, it is good to know that the Lord was there, watching over us.

And now as we come to our new home, we know He is still watching.

When our children were small, we would sometimes go into their rooms at night when they were asleep and watch over them....

It is good to know that my Heavenly Father watches over me in the same way- that whatever this new adventure throws at us, He whispers gently "It's OK, I'm here".
