God promises us wisdom to use our freedom to follow him. I try my best to use this gift of God but still i am alone. Not one of my family can be with me in worshiping as did the disciples. the Risen Lord.

Lord I am not worthy but you in your infinite mercy have become my Saviour. Please show the same mercy to those I love.
