This Day's Thought 30th May 2024


He has kept and folded us from ten thousand ills when we did not know it.  In the midst of our security we should have perished every hour, but He sheltered us ‘from the terror by night and from the arrow that flieth by day’ —from the powers of evil that walk in darkness, and from snares of our own evil will.  He has kept us even against ourselves, and saved us even from our own undoing.  Let us read the traces of His hand in all our ways, in all the events, the chances, the changes of this troubled state.  It is He that folds and feeds us, that makes us to go in and out, to be faint or to find pasture, to lie down by the still waters, or to walk by the way that is parched and desert.

My brother, now grown, approached me one day and told me how much he enjoyed having me home again, but wasn't sure he could handle it if I abandoned him again! He was joking, of course, as he went on to tell me that he had suffered "abandonment issues" and it was all my fault!   This cute little anal
