My Day at Westminster

Today I spent most of my  day at Westminster.

First of all, I was working in the Abbey. I had to borrow one of their coats as the church was cold. It was good to see some familiar faces I've worked with at other venues. I also loved greeting visitors from all over the world.

When our shift finished, our manager asked if any of us agency staff wanted to stay for the Evensung service. One colleague said yes, but two of us declined. Just as our manager was leading my colleague to the church, I had a change of heart and decided to attend the service.

We got to sit in the chancel, with the choir. It was amazing. (We weren't allowed to take photos or record the service).

At one point, I was staring at the magnificent architecture and thinking if I can be so in awe of this church that was built by humans, imagine what real churches in heaven look like. I believe the altar in the Abbey represents the Throne Room of heaven where God sits. I couldn't begin to imagine the brilliance in God's throne. The human eyes couldn't withstand the throne's dazzling beauty let alone God's presence. Imagine the voices of the angels in heaven singing and praising God. The best choirs on earth don't even come close to their voices.the 

After the service finished and I said goodbye to my colleague, I walked to Trafalgar Square and took photos on the way. The west end was packed  full with people.

Thank you, God for a wonderful day. ♥️

Jesus is Lord!

"...no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:3 ---- While I was relaxing in bed, I stretched one leg and I started feeling pain on my calf.   No, no, no! The pain quickly became a cramp. I called on the name of Jesus, but I could feel the pain getting worse. Just as I was about to get off the bed and put my foot down, I heard these words deep inside of me, "Jesus is Lord." I said the words out loud: JESUS IS LORD! The cramp immediately left my calf. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your reminder that Jesus is Lord. ❤️ "Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3: 17 Image of the cross courtesy of Google Images, but I added the text.

An Easy Day

Image
Before I went to work at this museum, I thanked God for an easy, fun and wonderful day. Half of my time was spent working in the gallery, where I was invigilating, and in the shop serving customers.  Although it was really busy with a constant flow of visitors and kids, I found it easy as God was working in me and through me My work colleagues were also very nice and helpful and I enjoyed working with them. I also enjoyed chatting to the parents and their kids. While I was tidying up an area of the gallery, I found this soft toy and I gave it to a colleague to look after. Later, I saw this boy sitting in the cafe with his mum and sister. I noticed he was carrying the toy I had found in the gallery. I told him I was glad he got his toy back. I asked him how old they were, he was six years old  and his sister was ten. The boy said his birthday was on the 27th December. I told him my nephew's birthday was also on that day. How amazing is that? At the end of the shift, our duty ma...

Letting Go of Grievance

Last night while I was working at  this concert, most of the guests I met were friendly and polite, but there was one particular guest who was challenging. After the event finished, I reported the experience to the duty manager and let it go, or so I thought. When I woke up this morning, the guest was still in my head. I asked God to help me let go of any grievance I was holding. I was reminded of Ephesians 4: 31-32.  Thank God for the Bible, which has the answer to every problem we have in this world. ❤️ ----- Related Bible verses: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4: 31-32, NKJV  "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor [perpetual animosity, resentment, strife, fault-finding] and slander be put away from you, along with every kind of malice [all spitefulness, verbal abuse, malevolence...
