The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 214

It is another beautiful day here at Ballinwillin House Farm and it looks like we are looking into more severe restrictions on day 9 of our new lock down. We had some very dark news again last night. More restrictions to our movements and business. It is very difficult for people of the nation to cope with and similarly here on the farm. Sales start to stop, the B+B will close again and the RetrEats we so badly need are all cancelled. How I manage to deal with this crazy pandemic world is by prayer and meditation and sending healing to all who need it. Up to March 2020 we were all used to a free life and always needing to be in control but now we see who is in control. But now is the time to be strong, in a quiet, gentle and sensitive way and we must trust God to take control. What other way is there? Mother Nature is deeply wounded. Many of us have a blind hardness when aspects of our life is threatened but it is the gift of prayer that softens and nourishes our hardened and fearful hearts. Now as I write my blog, I know and believe God will rescue us but we need to learn our lesson and pray daily and send blessing and healings to each other and support each other. Be careful. Be mindful and smile with softness and knowing.
