Nice Trip Down Memory Lane

So I decided to explore an area of London I used to live over 25 years ago.  I had to ask for directions as I couldn't remember the way. This young man showed me this route which was a long-winded way to get there.  

The actual village was still the same.  They still had the famous public school and the church up the hill.

When I finally arrived at the street where I lived for almost six years, I couldn't recognise the cottage. I had to look up the house number.

On the way back to the bus station, I walked down this familiar path up this hill, but when I got down the hill, I had to ask for directions again to the bus station. It took me about 15 minutes to walk to the local bus/tube station. 

Back in the day, I used to wear high heels to work. How did I manage to walk all that way in heels? There were times when I would run up the steps to the tube station. This time, I thanked God for giving me the energy to walk up those steps.

I realised who I was then is no longer who I am now.  

Back then, I didn't know the Lord and I was looking for love in all the wrong places. I thought I could do everything with my own strength.

Now that I know the Lord, I am no longer looking for love. I have the love of Christ in me.  I also know that I do all things with Christ's strength.

It's still a very pretty area of London. I am grateful I got to live there. ❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. [8] He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." I John 4:7-8

Here are some photos I









took of the area.

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Bananas

 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊

Indiana Jones

Image
Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️
