Easy Peelers

Image
On the way to work, I stopped off at this supermarket to buy some food for my lunch break.  I also fancied an easy peeler fruit, but they only had them in a packet. I could see they had loose bananas, but I didn't fancy any.  After I bought a croissant and some pasta to have for lunch, I asked a member of staff if they had loose easy peelers as I only wanted one. She said they didn't do them. She then picked up a packet of easy peelers and asked me to follow her. She led me to a till and asked the cashier to give me the packet of easy peelers for free. I was so grateful. On the way to work I kept thanking God. I could feel Father God smiling and saying "My pleasure." I am reminded of what Jesus told His followers: "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12: 32 I ended up having two easy peelers and sharing the rest of my blessings with my work colleagues. Thank you, God, for your limitless unmerited f...

Travel Plans

Before work, I always check the travel app the night before for train times and the quickest route. I decided I would catch the 08.08 train into town followed by the tube, which should give me enough time to stop at the local shopping centre to buy some food for lunch; walk leisurely to work; change into my uniform; gather everything I need; and have the usual banter with my work colleagues before our briefing. On the actual day, I checked the travel app again. It said the earlier train, the 07.38,  was delayed and was now due at 07.41. As I was already dressed, I decided to catch that train, instead of the 08.08 train. When I arrived at the platform, I noticed there was a revision to the train timetable showing that the 08.08 train was now cancelled and the second train was going to be 08.38. I knew if I had caught the 08.38 train, I would not have any time to get lunch and would arrive at work with only a few minutes to spare.  Thank you, God, for always adjusting my plans a...

Boys and Girls

Image
I saw this image on Facebook and it made me chuckle. It reminds me of when I was working at this "after school club" at this primary school.  The kids I was working with were aged between 3 to 5 years old. The girls were very demure and playing with their dolls and the boys were very boisterous. The boys ran me ragged as I taught them how to share the football and play as a team. 😆 That was three years  ago. I wonder how those kids are?  God bless them all. ❤️

Hello, Love!

When I woke up this morning, I was meditating on the love of God in Christ and that I live, move and have my being in His love. At the museum I was working at  today, I noticed this woman wearing a top with the word, "LOVE" in front of it. As she was walking by, she smiled at me and said hello. I said, "Hello Love." 😊 I live in and on Love. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’" Acts 17: 28 "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 38-39 "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8

Playing It By Ear

I was making a tentative arrangement with a friend via text to meet up. I then said, "We'll play it by ear. " After sending the text, I wondered if she knew what that expression meant. Then I thought she must do as she's been living in the UK now for donkey's years. (My friend is from Poland). I soon received a response from her saying she didn't have a clue what I was on about. I explained to her that the expression means, "we'll see how it goes" and she understood. I'm sure all countries have their own quaint idioms which baffle others. 😊

Nothing Can Touch God's Creation

Image
Thowback. Remember when we all had to stay indoors for months at a time during lockdown?   As you can see from these photos, it was business as usual for nature. You can't touch God's creation. ❤️ Broomfield Park, May 2020 ----- Relevant Bible verse: "I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it." Ecclesiastes 3: 14

Eyebrows

Image
On the bus, I noticed this woman carrying a baby girl that looked maybe between 8 months and a year old. I told the woman the baby had perfect eyebrows. The woman said the baby has her mum's  eyebrows. (She was the baby's aunt). I said I hoped the baby's eybrows stayed that way. When I was a lot younger, I had perfect eyebrows. Aa I got older, I started plucking them so I could give them a new shape. I've even had them threaded several times.  I have seen women who shave their eyebrows and then use eyebrow pencils to draw their eyebrows. We obviously know better than our Creator, right? 😆 ----- Relevant Bible verse: 'I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works,And that my soul knows very well." Psalm 139: 14 Photos of me as a child with my unadulterated eyebrows. ❤️
