²² Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
²³ They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
²⁴ I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

²⁵ The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
²⁶ it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
²⁷ It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.

²⁸ Let him sit alone in silence,
for the LORD has laid it on him.
²⁹ Let him bury his face in the dust—
there may yet be hope.
³⁰ Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,
and let him be filled with disgrace.

³¹ For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.
³² Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.
³³ For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.

Thankful for new days and new possibilities. His compassion is new every morning. Though he brings grief he will show compassion. Those 2 things walk hand in hand.

I had a lovely sisters day yesterday. We should do it more often. It was great to catch up on news.

Today blood tests and maybe a little visit to Hobby craft while I am there as a reward for going for my blood test! Hopefully they will manage to take my blood despite the many restrictions on the places to take my blood now.

My new phone has arrived - without a sim! So I still can't make phone calls or text! It is frustrating that people can't do a good job - everything seems to have some little problem to accompany it. My new compression sleeves should have arrived yesterday - well they did but they had only ordered the hand ones not the actually sleeves which I need! So more phone calls and more waiting! I know everyone is busy but ......please just do your job!

I am loving seeing the sunshine this morning although it still looks quite cold. Soon be time to plant my first seeds and then I will know that spring is on its way.
