Copycat

Usually when my flatmate's cat, Zeus, is ready to come back in and the windows are shut, he sits outside and waits for one of us to let him in.  (We don't have a cat flap). One day Zeus had a cat brainwave: "I can make myself look bigger and more conspicious by sitting on the fence. That would grab my humans' attention." The first time I saw Zeus sitting on the fence, I was so startled I thought it was a black panther. Then I realised it was our little black panther, Zeus. Before going out, I went into the kitchen to get some drink. I noticed the local stray cat I have named Loudmouth sitting on the fence. He'd obviously been studying Zeus and thought he would mimic Zeus's behaviour to get our attention. While Loudmouth did get my attention and I took his photo, I had no intention of letting him in as he is a stray cat. When Loudmouth started coming round (after he had obviously been abandoned), I was going to call the local animal shelter to find him a ne...

Triangles

While I was working at this museum, I noticed a look of wonder on this visitor's face. I asked her if she was enjoying the museum. She said she was overwhelmed by the art and the beauty of the house.  She also said she loved the old furnishings. I said it was like time travelling. She told mr she worked as an interior designer and has just finished designing this historical home. "Can I show you something?" the woman said. "Of course." She pulled out her phone and showed me a photo of a triangular table with three legs which was part of the decor of the historical home she  was working on. She said while she was browsing on the Web, the first photo that came up was a photo of another triangular table that costs thousands of Euros. It got me thinking about a photo I had taken two days before of an arrow on the bus lane, which looked like a person with a triangular head. (See photo attached) I then showed the visitor the photo I had taken of the "person"...

Elastic Bands

Image
From time to time, when the postman comes to deliver our letters and parcels, he drops elastic bands on the floor. Yesterday I had a need for an elastic band. On the way out, I looked outside our front door and in the corridor, but there was not one in sight. Today, while I was at home, I heard a knock on the front door. It was the postman delivering a parcel and some letters. I asked him if he had any spare elastic bands. He said he didn't have any on him, but he had some in his van. He asked me how many I needed. I said just one. He promised to come back and push it through the letter box. Five minutes later, I heard a knock on the front door. It was the postman again and his hands were filled with elastic bands.  Wow, thank you so much. God always meets our needs above and beyond. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "The Lord is my Shepherd,  I shall not want." Psalm 23: 1 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according t...

Sticking their Tongue Out

While the bus I was on was waiting at this traffic light, I looked outside and noticed this person sticking out their tongue at someone. At least that's what the arrow on the bus lane looked like to me. Joy is everywhere. 😀

Influencers

Social media is full of influencers who influence their followers to believe what they believe, and to act and think just like them. The only influencer I follow is Jesus.  I believe in Him, follow His teachings and even worship Him as my God.  Jesus is so influential, He has given all His followers His mind. Those who believe in Jesus and have accepted Him as their Lord and Saviour have Him  living inside of them; and His attributes are being expressed in and through them. Thank you, Jesus, for being the greatest influencer of all time. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."" John 6:35 "Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."" John 8:12 "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and...

Sharing God’s Love

When my shift  finished at this event I was working at, I went over to say goodbye to a colleague who was still working. He jokingly told me he hated me because I was leaving early. I gave him a big hug and wished him well.  On the way to catch my train, for a moment I felt this tug around my heart area as if someone was pulling energy from me. I then instantly felt fine.   I knew it was the love I had just given my friend, which was instantly replaced. Imagine what you would feel like if you are constantly giving out energy and you weren't being filled up. Just imagine. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for constantly filling me up with Your life. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing." John 6: 63 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, bec...

Working with the Lord

 In preparation for an event I was going to be working at, where they were expecting over 50,000 visitors, I thanked God in advance for His strength to keep me going and for making every day easy, fun and wonderful. I was inspired to meditate on the Bible verses where Jesus asks us to cast our cares and burdens on Him and He will give us His burden which is light. (See Bible verses below). It got me thinking that the things that limit us are matter, time and space. Where there is none of those, you are only left with light. Light is boundless, free and limitless. Is it any wonder why Jesus said His burden is light? As we had been warned that the area of the exhibition hall where I was going to be working would be chlly, I made sure I had layers on. While I was on my break, I met a friend who was also working at the event. When she held my hands, she told me they were freezing and said I must be cold. I told her I was fine. A few minutes later, I bumped into one of the managers. I s...
