To Linger

Dear Emily,

What does it mean to linger?  The dictionary says it is to be
slow to part.  I love that.  In this time of waiting out the 'walrus'
(our 2 1/2 year old grand daughter calls this the cowonawalrus,)
I find myself longing to linger near those I'm not allowed to be
near.

When I say, "goodbye" to grandchildren that I can't hug or kiss,
that parting is full sorrow.

My hope is that soon this ole' walrus will burn off.  Until then I will
linger with the Lord and my husband and feast on whatever crumbs
the six feet distance from my grandbabies can afford.

Love,
Lea

"We have lingered for Thee eagerly"
Isaiah 26:8

I have just noticed that you have posted, would you believe I was lying in bed only this week thinking of you. We are doing OK here as we are in a part of Australia where the walrus is quite tame but who knows for how long. I do hope it is not too long before you can hug your loved ones again ... in the meanwhile here is a distant hug from me.
