Seeing Cash

Image
The other day, I was saying to someone that I haven't seen cash in a long time, as I tend to use my debit card for all transactions. This morning, when I opened a birthday card that my flatmate had given me, she had put a £20 note in the card. She obviously didn't know I had been thinking about cash, but God certainly did. My flatmate also gave me a lovely hamper and a gift from our neighbour. Thank you, God, for blessing me through my flatmate and neighbour. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verse: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." James 1: 17

I believe God has many ways to meet our needs. I am also very open to receive my good from whatever instrument God chooses to meet them. Two days ago, I looked at some summer dresses online. I was thinking of getting one at some point. Today, my flatmate gave me a summer dress. She said she's only won it a few times. I tried it and I liked it. The colour actually suits me and it is a very good quality. My flatmate has given me nice outfits before.  I have also received two trousers and a night dress from my neighbour.  Thank you, God, for Your constant grace in Christ Jesus. ❤️ ---- Relevant Bible verses: "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Loving Your Neighbour

I've never met my neighbour who lives next door before.  Apparently, she is now 101 years old and no longer goes out. She has carers who come to check up on her. Another neighbour visits her. I can usually tell what my neighbour is watching on telly as she has the TV on really loud. I've just heard a familiar theme tune that sounded very much like Bond. I checked out the TV guide and sure enough, it was "You Only Live Twice" with Sean Connery. I'm watching it now, with her.  That's one way to connect with your neighbour. 😂❤️ Photo courtesy of Google Images

When Blessings Overtake You

Image
In the Old Testament, God told His people, through His prophet, Moses, that if they keep His commandments His blessings will overtake them. (Deutoronomy 28: 1-14). God also warned them of the curses they would experience if they disobeyed His commandments. (Deutoronomy 28: 15-68) As His people were not able to keep God’s commandments, they experienced the curses.  God then sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who was able to obey all of God's commandments on behalf of all who believe in Him. Therefore, those who believe in Jesus get to experience all those blessings and are redeemed from the curses. I've been thinking about what it means for "all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you..." (Deutoronomy 28: 2). Usually, while I'm travelling on the bus, other buses and cars overtake the bus I'm on. For another bus or car to overtake the bus I'm on, they have to be travelling behind the bus and caught up with the bus.   I believe when you're being ove...
