Love is Forever

Image
I love taking photos of trees, which I have been sharing on a Facebook group for fellow lovers of trees. After taking another photo, I went to share it on that group, but there was a notice stating that the group had been paused and not allowing anyone to post or leave comments. We could still browse photos. On further investigation, I discovered that the admins of the group were leaving. Members were invited to apply for the vacant admin roles within a specific time frame or the group will be paused and deleted. By the time I saw that post, the deadline had already passed, not that I was interested in th admin role. I decided to create a folder and save my trees posts in there as I didn't want to lose them. That Facebook group represents this world, where everything is temporal. You can't put your trust in that which is here today and gone tomorrow.   The folder I have created to store my posts about trees  represents Heaven where love is constant and eternal. I always h...

Historical Roles

Image
I have to say some of the supporting artists/extra TV and film roles I've had were hard work;  you are on your feet all day and repeating the same action over and over again. Some roles were very easy and fun like playing a passenger on a tube train. All I had to do was travel on the train, get off and repeat. Speaking of trains, the other day I was working on this old train from the 1930s on a special service running on this particular tube line from west to north-east London. My role was to make sure passengers were in the right carriage and then travel in the carriage with them ensuring there was no eating or drinking in the carriage. As the passengers were well behaved, I spent most of the hour engaging with passengers and listening to the expert volunteers sharing the history of that tube line. The interior of the tube was like being on a historical film set with "props" from the 1970s. I was shocked to see cigarette adverts. Then again, in the good old days, people ...

On Being a Sponge

Image
My spirit is like a sponge that is constantly absorbing God's Spirit.  When I meditate on the Word, my mind is like a sponge that is constantly absorbing the Truth of God, which I get to experience in my every day life. When I am still, I am  a sponge constantly absorbing all that God is. I am a sponge constantly absorbing God’s infinite love. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord." Deuteronomy 8: 3 "The Lord is my Shepherd,  I shall not want...You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever." Psalm 23: 1, 5-6 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in ...

Cosplay

Image
 As I see it, every job is an opportunity to cosplay. While I was welcoming visitors and scanning their passes at this exhibition, one visitor approached me.  "In the good old days, you weren't allowed to take photos of paintings," he said. "When did they change the rules?" "This is actually the first time I'm working at this art gallery," I said. "Really? You don't look like someone new!" "Do I look like I know what I'm doing?" I said. "Thank you very much!" The man laughed and wished me well. Another visitor chatted to me about the artists and paintings. I had no idea what he was on about, but I must have looked like I did. He even said if I'm ever in Chicago (USA), I should visit their gallery where I will be able to see a similar collection. I reckon all those years of playing different background roles on set have come in very handy. It's interesting that my first ever role as a supporting artist/e...

Jesus is Real

 Reminder to self: You don't have to have a traumatic near death experience to experience God/Jesus. The Bible teaches: “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions." Joel 2: 28 Jesus is perfectly capable of revealing Himself in your dreams, as visions or even manifest right where you are. I have seen Jesus as visions and even felt His Hand on my head. Thank you, Lord, for revealing Yourself to me. ❤️

The Light Shining in Darkness

Image
At this gallery I was working at, this visitor approached me. "Could you tell me if the paintings have been cleaned?" she said. "No, they haven't, but they've fixed the lights in this gallery," I said. "I see, that's why the colours look so bright." "Yes.  I do find your perspective interesting though that you thought the paintings had been cleaned," I said. "At least you noticed something was different." The woman chuckled and was off to see the paintings in a new light. The light in the gallery reminds me of Jesus, who is the "Light of the World. When you come to Jesus just as you are and focus on Him, His Light does the work of lighting all darkness within you.  In other words, He changes you from the inside out.  You then reflect and shine His Light into the world. Because of Jesus, I no longer walk in darkness. ☀️❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be...
