The Elephant in the Room

While I was working with a volunteer at this museum's cloakroom, a man came in with his young daughter. He asked us if anyone had handed in a cuddly toy elephant.  I looked in the lost property drawer, but it was empty.  Right at that moment a colleague, who is very experienced with the museum's procedures, was walking by and heard our conversation. She asked the man to fill in a form and promised to get back to him when we find the elephant. After the man and his daughter walked away, I asked my colleague to show me where the forms were kept and she explained the museum's lost property procedures.  I then asked her how she had known I needed help at that very moment. She said it must have been her intuition. While we were chatting, I noticed one of the duty managers walking by. I called out to her and said hello. We noticed she was wearing a top with lots of tiny elephants. We laughed and told her a little girl had lost her elephant. The volunteer and I went back to serv...

Missing Sock Found

When I came home, I decided to do some laundry. After the wash finished, I started hanging the items on the clothes horse and radiators. I noticed one sock was missing. I looked for it in the washing machine, inside the other clothes, on the floor, but couldn't find it. I kept repeating to myself, "Where are you, sock?"  I looked again in the washing machine and spun the drum, but still no sock. Finally, I said, Lord, you know where everything is. Please show me where the sock is or put it somewhere I can see it. I then went to lie down. After a few seconds, I got up, looked inside a tote bag I usually carry with me everywhere and there was the missing and unwashed sock. I have no idea how that sock got in that bag. Thank you, God, for revealing my "missing" sock.  I will hand-wash it tomorrow. 🙂❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good."

Scaredy Cat

So Zeus, my flatmate's cat, doesn't like kitchen foil. He gets skittish around it. Ditto my nail file, but he's getting used to it. While I was changing the bin and trying to open the black bin liner, he ran out of the kitchen.  At first I was concerned and followed him asking him if he was okay. When he saw I still had the bin liner in my hand, he hid himself under the table. That's when I realised he was scared of the bin liner. What a strange creature! He probably thinks I'm strange too. 😀

Letting Go of Unforgiveness

At the museum I was working at, a large group of European teenage students and their guides came in.  While I was patrolling one gallery, I noticed a student breaking the museum rules. When I asked her to stop, she and her friend became quite obnoxious. I reported the matter to the duty manager. I also shared my experience with  a colleague and she was very sympathetic.  After work, I walked with a colleague to the local tube station. I noticed the same group of students standing by listening to their guide. When I arrived at the platform, there was a train already there, but the doors closed before I could get on.  I didn't mind missing that train as the next train was due in a few minutes. Suddenly, I noticed the same group of European students coming down the escalators to catch the train I was waiting for.  They spread down the platform. I walked to the far end of the platform as I didn't want to travel in the same carriage with them. When the train arrived,...

60 Revolutions Around the Sun

Today is my birthday. I give thanks to God for giving me 60 revolutions around the sun. To me, the sun represents Christ, who is my life; and my trajectory around the sun represents my personal walk and relationship with Christ, which is unique to every born again Christian. I look forward to many more revolutions in Christ . ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing."

Makeup Ritual

Image
Makeup on, makeup off. Same old ritual. Sometimes, while I'm putting on my makeup,  the cat sits on my bed and stares at me. Maybe he's thinking "why do you bother putting all that gunk on your face?  If you wash yourself frequently like I do, you won't need to paint your face." 😀
