1 When the LORD brought back the captives toa] Zion,
we were like men who dreamed.[b]
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
‘The LORD has done great things for them.’
3 The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.

4 Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.
6 He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.

Psalm 126:-This psalm is a reminder to us, that God is watch over what is happening in our lives and in the world around us.
We are to put our trust in God, and He will see us through the bad times in our lives.
Are we ready to shout with joy when things start to go right.?
Do we thank God - when we have had a good day?
or when things at work or home have gone well?
When we go through the bad times it might be that God is teaching us something?
Or maybe it is a time of strengthening, for us to get us ready for when the bad times are here
.
When we have found our way through these hard times, we can be ready to sing songs of joy for the strength we have found in God.
Remember our time through COVID, some were helped by vaccines, others had to go to hospital and many died.
Our church kept its doors open, and chairs were spaced according to regulations, and we welcomed people to come and pray. Many people thanked us, and said it helped them get through the tough time.
