Demonstration

A few days ago, I received a text from a friend warning me to avoid central London on Saturday as there was going to be a huge demonstration from far-right protestors against "people of colour."

I had to go into central London for work not far from Trafalgar Square where there were going to be lots of speakers. Even though I walked down the side streets to avoid the crowd, I still met  many people on the way carrying English and British flags.

I wasn't scared as I know God is always with me and I walk in His Love.  I was even tempted to ask soneone if England was playing football. 😊

After work, I travelled on the tube home. I saw lots of people who looked like they'd been to the protest. At my stop, one guy with a northern accent said to me, "Do you want to get off, love?"

"Yes, please," I said.

He and his friend made space for me to get off and I thanked them.

God bless everyone, whether you consider yourself to be politically on the right or left. ❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

"...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen." Matthew 28:20

"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love." 1 John 4: 18

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 😊
