Sabbath circular walk near Shiplake but our thoughts were of Sue.

We walked for five or so miles taking in Shiplake where the river Thames was providing a scene of rowing fun for groups who rowed to compete.

From tunnels of green to open yellow stubble we walked and talked. A common thought like a red lace pulled our words together. Where were Sue and Brambles on a beautiful day like this? The beagle with black ears and brown eyes was with Martin and all of Sue’s children. Five adult children plus wives and grandchildren making many more.

We miss her.

It all happened so quickly. The third person with pancreatic cancer. A silent enemy warrior that takes over before you know its name. Fit and strong with energy it doesn’t seem to care. Sad.

When will this be? ‘ And many of them that sleep in the dust of earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.’ Daniel 12: 2
At that time Michael will stand up, the great Prince who stands for the children of people: and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time people will be delivered, everyone that is found written in the book.’
Daniel 12: 1

It was a walk in thoughts and talk. Through yellow stubble where hares will run in the moonlight and bales of hay wait to be lifted and where the Thames moves with swimmers leaving their clothes on the shore and people shout for their favourites to paddle faster and we, we miss Sue.

‘ Angels of God looked with amazement upon Christ, who took upon Himself the form of man and humbly united His divinity with humanity so that He might work and help people, no longer perfect. God has told us that He did do it, and we are to accept the Word of God.’
EG White.
Brambles and Sue.

Take care,

Sandy
