How Sweet!

During my walk, I noticed  this man putting a Christmas tree inside a van, I said to him, "Is it Christmas already?"

"What's that, sweetheart?" he said.

I repeated myself, which made Him chuckle.

It got me thinking about the affectionate terms people use to address others.  I have been called "sweetheart, darling, lovely, hun."

I have a friend who was born and bred in Yorkshire, where they address people as "love." Even though he's been living in London for over 40 years, he still addresses me as "love." 

I don't get offended at all when a guy addresses me as "darling" or "sweetheart."

I think it's really sweet. ❤️

Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊

I suggested he could download a Bible app, if he needed instant access to a Bible. I even recommended an app I use, but  the man was adamant that God had told him to get a Bible at this arts centre. While my colleague continued to chat to the man, I focused on welcoming guests to the arts centre. Finally I saw the man holding a Bible. Apparently, my colleague always carries a Bible with her which she has been studying. As she was speaking to the man she was inspired to give him her Bible. We were all am...
