Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

As I was walking past this art gallery, where my friend works as a security guard, I was hoping she had a shift at one of the positions so I could have a quick chat with her. I spotted her standing outside this restaurant.

While we were chatting, these two men turned up.  They asked if they could go in. My friend opened the restaurant door and let them in. She also followed them in. After a few minutes, she returned and said she had been watching the two men as they looked very suspicious and reported them to her supervisor.

A few minutes later, two "guests" turned up. One looked like in his late teens and the other around 10 or 11 years old.  After both of them said hello, the younger one asked me if I could give him a hug. I shook my head, but he kept insisting on receiving a hug. The older boy walked away, but the younger one barged into the restaurant.  My friend went in after him and asked him to leave.

Later, my friend told me asking me for a hug was a sleight of hand trick the boys had used at that moment to distract us so they could go in and steal stuff.  Not on our watch!

While Jesus wants His followers to love everyone, He also told them to be very careful:

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." Matthew 10:16 NKJV

Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing pretending to be friendly!  They're up to no good. 😆

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 😊
