Children of God

Who are the children of God? According to the Bible, which I believe is the Word of God: "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:10-13, NKJV ("He" is referring to Jesus Christ). Because I am a born-again Christian who has received Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, Jesus, has given me the right to become a child of God.  The Bible also teaches that those who are led by the Holy Spirit are sons (and daughters) of God. (Romans 8: 14) I am a child and daughter of God.❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." Romans 8: 14 "All Scripture  is  given by inspiration of God, and  is  profit...

Many Traditions, One God

The other day, after we finished work late, the company provided taxis to take all staff home. My taxi driver, who was Polish, shared his faith with me and how he celebrated Easter. He said part of their Polish tradition involves having their priest bless their food. I found it interesting. The next day, I received a text from my Polish friend to wish me Happy Easter. She told me she attended a Polish church in the morning and took food to church and the priest blessed their food. She said  that was part of their Polish tradition. She said she was going to attend an English church the next day. I told her I already knew all about their Polish tradition from the taxi driver who drove me home the night before. 😀 While we all have our different traditions, the Bible teaches us that all Christians share the one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God (Ephesians 4: 4-6). Whatever your tradition, Happy Easter! ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "There is one body and...

Friends Reunited

At this museum, I was invigilating an art instalment at their conservatory. I had to make sure the kids didn't touch it or stand on the panel. We provided pencils and paper for kids and adults  to draw or paint the art.  Majority of the visitors were polite and obeyed the rules. One particular mother was quite challenging. I ended up calling my manager to report the matter. While I was waiting for my manager, I saw a friend I had met at a mutual friend's wedding. At the time, we had such a laugh dancing and singing at the wedding reception.  Although we have kept in contact by text, I haven't seen her since the wedding seven months ago. After my friend and I exchanged hugs, I told her about the visitor who had been challenging and she was very sympathetic and supportive.  We arranged to meet up after I finished work an hour later. After I had spoken to my manager, I told him I had just met a friend from a wedding I attended last year. Because I was feeling hot and bo...

In Everything Give Thanks

I was booked to work at this concert which was scheduled to finish after 12 lam. During the briefing, we were told the company was going to provide taxis home for all staff including agency staff. I was so grateful I wasn't going to have to travel by night bus. After our shift finished around 12.30am, I checked what time my taxi was coming.  They had this system where those who lived in the same area of London were sharing the same taxi. My travel companion told me she had received a text to let her know that our taxi was outside. So we went outside to look for the taxi. In the meantime, my companion started complaining about how tired she was and her feet were aching.  At first I was sympathetic as it had been a long evening with very loud music.  She then told me she'd received another text cancelling our taxi. She said she was thinking that they were going  to cancel our taxi because they always cancel her taxi as taxis don't seem to like the area she lives in....

Phone Screen Protector

When I saw a crack on my phone screen, I wondered if it was the screen or the screen protector.  It looks like it's the screen protector. Yesterday when I got on the bus, I sat right in front. I was amazed to see a used screen protector in front of where I was sitting. I had to take a photo. 😊 I believe God was showing me that it's my screen protector that needs changing.  Thank you, God. ❤️ 0

Can't Complain

"You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16: 11 ----- The bus driver announced that a particular road was closed and he was going on a diversion. Just as he was about to drive down another road that would lead us back on track, we heard the driver swearing under his breath, which made me chuckle. He told us that road was now blocked. Apparently, because of an earlier accident, the police had cordoned off that road. The driver let everyone off at the next stop. I told the driver he can't just dump us there as some of us had not yet arrived at our destination.  He said he was going to speak to his boss. After he called them, he told us that the route was now too complicated and he wasn't going any further. He suggested we catch another bus. A few of us walked to another bus stop where I was able to catch a bus that would take me all the way to work. I was really grateful ...
