Many Traditions, One God

The other day, after we finished work late, the company provided taxis to take all staff home.

My taxi driver, who was Polish, shared his faith with me and how he celebrated Easter. He said part of their Polish tradition involves having their priest bless their food. I found it interesting.

The next day, I received a text from my Polish friend to wish me Happy Easter. She told me she attended a Polish church in the morning and took food to church and the priest blessed their food. She said  that was part of their Polish tradition. She said she was going to attend an English church the next day. I told her I already knew all about their Polish tradition from the taxi driver who drove me home the night before. 😀

While we all have our different traditions, the Bible teaches us that all Christians share the one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God (Ephesians 4: 4-6).

Whatever your tradition, Happy Easter! ❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; [5] one Lord, one faith, one baptism; [6] one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Ephesians 4:4-6

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

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. ❤️
