The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 117

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on the 12th day out of lock down. Last night I was listening to Dr. Gerald Barry on Prime Time TV. He is an eminent virologist and expert on Corona Virus Covid19 and as he was explaining how the virus mutates and changes on a regular basis and how clever and cunning the virus is. The thought came to me that we have to be clever too and keep on doing all that is demanded from us re social distancing, washing our hands, not going on foreign holidays etc but is that enough? I don’t think so. Over the past few weeks I have been contentiously contacted by people responding to my daily request for prayer, blessing and healing and now a large group of people are saying they are back praying, they are back saying the rosary and this is wonderful. We have to be clever too but we have a vaccine available to us today and that is prayer. It need not be a rosary, a simple prayer of thought will do. I know how powerful this is and you will too if you try.

So for today, continue to pray, bless and heal each other and wear that smile.
