Jigsaw Puzzle

On the first day of my shift, I noticed a member of staff was working on this huge jigsaw puzzle in the staff kitchen.  I asked him whether he had fitted the earlier pieces all by himself.  He said others were working on it too.

On the last day of my shift, I noticed the jigsaw was now complete. The same colleague I had seen a few days earlier was inspecting the puzzle.  I said well done to him and his team and took a photo of the completed puzzle.

I believe the jigsaw puzzle represents God's plan for His children. We only see pieces of the puzzle, but He always sees the completed plan that we are working on.

Some people may fulfil God's plan and others may not. When believers i.e. those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour return to be with the Lord, they will get to see the entire, complete, jigsaw puzzle. 

Those who reject Jesus also reject God's plan for them, so they will never know or get to experience God's marvellous plan for them.

Thank you, Father God, for the wonderful plan You have designed for me in Christ Jesus. I may not always see how or where the pieces fit, but You always do. 

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for working in me to fulfil God's plan for me. Amen. ❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29: 11

"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure."Philippians 2: 12-13

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 😊
