Love Never Changes

Image
Today, I met up with a dear friend at this pub. The last time I went to that pub was in the late 1980s.  It's been refurbished since then. I can't even remember what the original interior looks like. Things change, but love never changes.  Thank you, Lord, for good friends.❤️

A First for Everything

In my almost 60 years, this is the first time I'm working on the 1st of January. There's always a first for everything. 😀 Enjoy the first day of the year, whatever you get up to. 🙏 Photo of me all alone at the train station. However, as the Lord is always with me, I am NEVER alone. ❤️

Happy New Year and New Day

While most people are celebrating the start of a new year, I am also celebrating day 21,680 since I was born. During that period, I have been born again of the Spirit, which means though I appear to be living in the world, I am living in the Kingdom of God. Thank you, God, for the last 365 days. I look forward to experiencing all the love that You have for me in 2026. Happy Day 21,680 to me. Happy New Year to you all.  God bless. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118: 24 "Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” [4] Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” [5] Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."

Fancy Some Pizza?

The other day, I texted a friend to arrange for us to meet up in the new year.  I suggested that I could treat her to pizza. I realised it was because I was craving for some pizza. Another friend was havng a minor procedure done. The medics suggested that he should have someone around him for 24 hours just in case, so he asked if I could be there with him. I said yes. So last night I went to my friend's house. He actually recovered quite quickly.  As he was very hungry, he asked if we could go to the local Turkish restaurant.  I told him I wasn't hungry, but I could bring whatevr I can't finish home.  Whenever I go to that restaurant,  I usually order  rice with chicken shish kebab. While I was browsing the menu,  I noticed they had pizza. I decided to order vegetarian pizza instead, which was delicious. So my pizza craving has been satisfied.  Thank you, God, for meeting that need. ❤️  ------ Relevant Bible verse: "But my God shall supply al...

Taking Control

During my bus journey, this man got on and sat behind me. He smelled so strongly of Cannabis, I had a feeling he was still smoking it. (All forms of smoking is illegal on public transport which I am grateful for).   A man sitting in front of me wih a mask on quickly swapped seats.  I didn't want to swap seats. I didn't think it woukd be wise either to ask him to stop smoking. Instead I reminded myself that God is everywhere present. I repeated "God is all there is." After a few minutes, I could no longer smell the pungent smell. The man was still on the bus when I got off. I can't control people's behaviour but I can certainly control my environment.  ----- Relevant Bible verses: "For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield." Psalm 5: 12 "Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the Lord; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord." Jeremiah 23: 24

Liquid Ice Cream

 I fancied some ice vanilla cream, but it was rock solid. After digging a few scoops of it into a bowl, I thought I'd put it in the microwave to soften it up a bit. When I took it out, it was now liquefied. I have to say, it's my first time ever drinking vanilla ice cream.  I swear I could hear God chuckling in and around me. 😀

Faceebook Knows Me So Well

I believe if you want to know what's in someone's heart, check their newsfeed and reels. Apart from the ads, mine are mostly about love of Jesus, Bible teachings and teachers, Christian values, trees, Star Trek, Liverpool FC and cats.  At last, Facebook finally gets me. 😊
