As I sit here this Maundy Thursday evening keeping my own vigil I can't but help reflect the many nights back in the dark days where I had mot come to terms with my sight loss where Jesus was the only one between me and oblivion.
It was at those times that he kept watch over me, he did not fall asleep.
He stood in that gap between me and my monsters, he did not let them overcome me,
Life now with Jarvis is very different, by rights I should not be here, how I got to such a safe place, a place of healing is a mystery to me, it's certainly not down to me.
I'm here because of love, the love of a saviour that was there even when I was unaware of his presence.
A love from my wife which kept faith in me even when I lost faith in my self.
The love of Abbot and Jarvis who's care and attention have been constant and abiding.
I'd like to thank all of you have followed this blog, the fact that so many of you have followed it amazes me. Your comments have encouraged and supported me.
Tomorrow will be the last daily post, I hope to make it a good one but after Lent I shall carry on, not on a daily basis but with the odd random post as inspiration strikes.
In the meantime be assured that as you wait for his coming Jarvis and I are there with you, full of hope and anticipation for what he has in store for us as we journey this pilgrim road together.
Peace to you all.
