God's Goodness at Work

While I was on the bus, I realised I had forgotten to wear my smart black jacket over my black top. I also realised I had left my black scarf at home.  How could I forget both of them!  Nevermind! I'm sure the duty manager won't mind.

When I arrived at work, I asked the duty manager if I could borrow one of their scarves. He said he would get the supervisor to look for one.

The supervisor told me she couldn't find a spare. I asked her if I could borrow a spare jacket.  She asked me to accompany her to her office. She opened a drawer full of new scarves and jackets and said I could borrow one of each. When I returned them at the end of my shift, she told me to keep them as I work at the museum regularly.  I was really grateful.

Hours later at a bus stop on my way home, I noticed this woman eating a chocolate ice lolly.

"Ooh, Walls Feast! I haven't had that in a while," I said to her.

She smiled at me and continued staring at the bus timetable. I was going to ask her if she wanted me to look up when the bus was due to arrive on my bus app, but she walked away.

A few seconds later, she was back and handed me an ice lolly.

"Thank you so much!" I said.

"It's one less fattening for me," she said and walked away.

It turned out it was actually a Magnum ice lolly. I opened it and had half of it at the bus stop and the rest on the bus.

Thank you, God, for your constant undeserved and unmerited favours. ❤️

Bananas

Image
 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 😊

On Being the Light of the World

Image
"You are the light of the world." Matthew 5: 14 ---- I was booked to work as a steward at  this huge concert hall I've worked at before.  Usually after I am booked at a venue, I check what kind of concert or event it is. This one was a two day Christian conference promoting a course I've actually been on. There were going to be speakers and delegates from all over the world. Two days before the Christian conference, I was booked at a music venue I've never worked at before, but have always been curious about. When I checked who the band was, I discovered there were going to be several bands playing extreme metal music that promised to be very "dark."  I was going to cancel that booking, but  I remembered Jesus told believers that we "are the light of the world" which means we are to be the light for everyone, everywhere.  Also, God has not given me the spirit of fear. (2 Timothy 1: 7) At the music gig, my colleague and I were outside the doors ...

The Three Times

I have observed that there are three times - consensus agreement time, cultural time and God time. I was working as a host at this Bhangra concert. The official start time or consensus agreement time was 7.30pm. We kept reminding fans that the concert was about to start, but most of them paid no attention because they expected it to start late i.e. cultural time. There was this last mnute rush to get them in and show them to their seats. After the concert started, we were asked to only let fans in at the end of each performance, so we had to listen out for the applause. Some latecomers couldn't understand why they had to wait. While I was at the door, I explained that it is our policy to keep them waiting so we don't disrupt the performance. Some fans came out to get drinks at the bar and wanted to get back in, but I told them they had to wait until the next entry point.  The funniest thing was when this woman came out of the concert to get her friend to go in with her. I told ...
