Diversion

During my bus journey, I was engrossed on my phone. At one point when I looked up I noticed the bus was using a different route. What's going on? Did I get on the wrong bus? I asked the passenger next to me what bus it was and he said 29. The passenger in front of me said the bus must be on a diversion. Usually, the bus driver makes an announcement to let passengers know the bus is being diverted, but this driver had remained silent. I went back to my browsing.  When I looked up again, the bus was in an area I wasn't familiar with. I told the man next to me I had no idea where we were. He told me we were in an area called Tufnell Park. Finally, the passenger told me we were about to get back to our usual bus route. I then relaxed and returned to my phone until it was time to get off. The bus diversion got me thinking of trusting in God. There are times when it seems like we are a long way from our path. The good news is God is always there with us and guiding us to our destinat...

God Meets Every Need

Image
The other day, I was thinking that I could do with a safety pin. I used to have a packet somewhere, but I couldn't remember where I had put it. Nevermind! Two days later, while I was on my break at work I was sitting on this sofa. When I got up, I noticed this safety pin right where I had been sitting.  It was exactly the size I was thinking of and I claimed it. I have also been thinking of getting a new moisturising cream for my face as my skin has been feeling dry.  The next day at work a colleague asked me if I had noticed the box that a company had sent of moisturising cream samples. She told me to help myself. Although I'd never heard of that brand, I took several boxes so I could share some with my flatmate.  On the bus, I got chatting to this passenger sitting next to me. I told her I had got some samples at work and even gave her one. She thanked me and told me it was a good brand. As soon as I got home, I gave some samples to my flatmate. She hadn't heard of the ...

Sharing Good Reports

Image
Usually, when I phone a company's head office, it is to complain about a product or a service. Today, I was inspired to share good reports instead. My first call was to express how much I appreciated the service I had received from a staff from this particular store. My second call was to thank the company for their travel iron that I've been using since 2001 which still works.  Finally, I called my favourite food store to express my gratitude about a sandwich I've recently discovered and how much I love their food. Every customer adviser I spoke to was really happy to hear my feedback. Two of them told me I had made their day. They all said they will pass my feedback on to the stores and  equivalent departments. I give thanks for all the wonderful service I receive from every store. Thank you, God, for  all my supply. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pu...

About Discipline

"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 ---- While I was invigilating at this art gallery, I reminded visitors of the safeguarding rules that protected the art and other visitors.  When this couple and their three kids arrived, I told their parents what the rules were. I noticed the three kids were paying no attention to the rules and doing the exact opposite. I walked over to their parents and told them to supervise the kids otherwise I would have to ask them to leave. They spoke to their kids. When the kids refused to obey the rules, I asked them to leave. The kids weren't happy and complained to their parents, but they backed me up and told them that's what happens when you break the rules.  It's nice to see parents who appreciate that certain rules are in place to protect everyone.  If you want to do whatever you like, I suggest you stay at home in your bedroom. 😊

How to Avoid Scams

Image
So I received a text  advising me to click on a link to renew my passport.  As my passport is due for renewal this year, I was curious enough to read it. I also knew the Passport Office would never send you a text. It's up to individuals to contact them. When I told my work colleague, she said it was a scam. Before I deleted the text, I compared the scam website to the real website.  The fake website looks so similar to the real that you can easily be fooled. When you look at the website link, you can spot the difference. Nice try, scammers! I believe the fake website represents the machinations of Satan aka the Devil who is a master of deception and is constantly twisting the truth. The Bible tells us he even passes himself off as an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 2: 14) His purpose is to kill, steal and destroy. (John 10: 10).   If you don't  know the Truth or have the Holy Spirit's gift of discernment in you, you're going to fall for his scams. Thank you...

Tongue Twister

A Spanish colleague I was working with was teaching me how to say Spanish tongue twisting words.  He showed me how to roll my tongue. As hard as I tried, I couldn't do it.  I did have fun trying though. Rolling my tongue is one skill I have no interest in learning. Thanks anyway. 😀
