I am comforted and relaxed
in the midst of the Pandemic
by “Jesus Calling” (Sarah Young).

The beautiful voice of Jackie Evancho
and the paintings of Akiane Kramarik
also soothe my anxious mind.

Having poor eyesight,
living in the big city,
the beautiful essence to comfort me
is through the internet.

Knowing of my small world,
I am grateful for this gift,
and the gift of Nana, my companion.
Thank you, Lord!
