After a quiet and restful Sunday at home yesterday, a day in which we were favored with several sermons given on line by favorite pastors, we were feeling housebound and went for a drive.
It was a little late, but before dark, and we met very few cars on the road. Evidently, folks were staying home as prescribed by health experts. Never had we felt like we had the road to ourselves, sailing along on the picturesque curves, hills and valleys.
We saw no people outside, except for a man standing on his porch, staring inscrutably at the road. A time of puzzlement for everyone.
Our chosen destination was Dunkin' Donuts for a cup of coffee, Howard's favorite hang-out, but only service from the drive-through window, now. Our route leading home through downtown Jonesborough revealed an empty street except for a couple of stragglers. We had so enjoyed exploring this historic place with son Greg and family when they were here for a few days last week.
Being more or less confined to the house is very testing and trying for everyone these days, but these scriptures are comforting:
"Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God." Psalm 42:11.
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." Psalm 46:10-11.
"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful in situation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King." Psalm 48:1-2.
Beats a cup of coffee anytime!
