Asking for Help

When this man walked into the shop I was working in to browse, I asked him if he was okay.  He told me the online map he was using had sent him in the wrong direction and had added an extra 20 minutes to his journey.

"I know how you feel. Sometimes I do get lost following that map," I said. "I never got lost when I used to use the A to Z map. Now I use People Map."

"What do you mean by people map?" he said.

"Asking people for direction."

"Do people actually help?"

"Yes, all the time. People are so helpful."

"I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had asked someone for help then."

"Yes," I said. "You know what, I even ask guys to open bottles for me when I can't."

"That's very interesting. Nice talking to you." He then walked out.

I hope I didn't scare that poor man off with my talk about asking for help. 😀

Asking for help doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong.

I believe as my help comes from God (Psalm 121: 2), the help I receive from people are actually coming from God.

Thank you, Lord  for being my constant Helper. ❤️

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth." Psalm 121: 1-2

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. 😄

Indiana Jones

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. ❤️

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 😊
