Pulling at My Heart Strings

Image
My flatmate was telling me that her cat, Zeus, knows how to push her buttons to get her to do exactly what he wants. She said Zeus knows he can't do the same with me, as I'm stricter with him. That's what she thinks.  Sometimes, that cat can wrap me around his little paws. Today, he was   pulling so hard at my heart strings, I let him get away with stuff, good and proper. I guess he had me at miaow.🐈  I'll be back in my boss chair tomorrow, as I'm not going to be around for him to manipulate me. 😊

I Stand with Christ

Image
I believe it is a good thing to stand for and stand with what you believe is right. I stand with Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. I believe Jesus is the solution to all of our problems. God bless everyone.  ❤️ ------ "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14: 6

Divine Timing

Image
Ten years ago, I had a desire to work on a particular project. At the time the "door" was closed and I couldn't see a way around it. So I let it go. Recently, I was given an opportunity to pursue the same project. I'm not going to say anything more until it happens. This post is a timely reminder about why it's important not to force things but to let God work things out in His own Divine timing if that is His will for you. God bless. ❤️

Our Daily Bread

"Give us this day our daily bread." Matthew 6: 11 ----- The last two days I've had a cold and cough.  When I first started experiencing the symptoms, I reminded myself that I am already healed (Isaiah 53: 5); and God wants me well (3 John 1: 2). The Holy Spirit also brought to my attention that I had been fearful of catching my flatmate's cold and cough which she's had for a while.  I reminded myself that God hasn't given me the Spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1: 7). After praying and meditating on the Scriptures, I expected to be well, but it was taking a while for my flesh to receive my healing.  When I woke up this morning, I was feeling weak and I didn't feel like going to church. I put on my laptop to listen to some Christian sermons.  Someone mentioned something about life.  It got me wondering, "Who exactly is feeling tired?" I thought about what Paul had said in Galatians 2: 20: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who liv...

God is Spoiling Me

My flatmate made me a nice lunch today - turkey breast with Sauerkraut and sauce. Thank you, God, for spoiling me through my flatmate. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield." Psalm 5: 12 "You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance."

Early Pancake Day

Image
My flatmate made some pancakes. I said to her, wow, is Pancake Day here already? She said she fancied eating pancakes and she gave me two of them. (Shrove Tuesday aka Pancake Day is actually on the 4th March, signalling the start of Lent). I remember when I was working at this primary school and the teacher I was assisting wanted us to make pancakes with the kids from scratch.  Neither of us had made pancakes before. After she mixed the ingredients, muggins here had to fry over 30 pancakes. Never again!  The kids seemed to enjoy my labour though.  What do I want to give up for Lent? I've already stopped bingeing on chocolates and cookies.  I've been eating a lot of raisins so I might cut down on those.😊 Happy Shrove Tuesday in advance! ❤️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday
