The Prodigal Daughter Returns

At this expo I was working at, I was helping visitors print out their badges with the scanning machine. Whenever I or anyone got close to the scanning machine, it would automatically scan the barcode on their badge and print out another badge. I found  it quite hilarious. 😄 I had to either hide my lanyard badge inside my jacket or try not to stand close to the machine. It got me thinking about functions. The function of the scanning machine is to scan barcodes and print out badges. In other words, the machine has been programmed to scan barcodes and print out badges. The machine doesn't care whether you did not intend for it to scan the barcode, it scans it anyway. In the same respect, I believe the function of all born again Christians is to be ambassadors for Christ.  All Christians are programmed by the renewing of their minds to be ambassadors for Christ.  We renew our minds with the Word of God/Bible. Within every Christian is the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper, Teacher a

"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." Ephesians 4: 4-6 ---- After work, I decided to attend the Choral Evensong at a Church of England church close by, the same church where I was actually baptised. When I arrived, the choir were practising and they sounded really angelic. Durring the actual service,   the choir sang about something I had been mulling over. In the one hymn we all sang, there was a line "Lo I am with you always."  I also like that they recite the Apostle's Creed at C of E churches, which is a reminder  of the core beliefs of all Christians. No matter what denomination I follow or church I choose to attend, there is only one Father, Son and Holy Spirit who is in me, through me and with me always. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for inspiring me to attend this service. ❤️ Some photos of the churc

As I'm working outside today for a few hours, I've called upon an old friend (my hat) to help keep me warm.  God's blessings last forever.  ❤️

 I went to the supermarket for a few items  At the self-checkout, just as I was about to start scanning, a staff member told me the machine would scan the items for me. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the machine told me how much I had to pay. While I was paying, I wondered if the machine would put the shopping basket away. Suddenly,  this guy who looked like a manager picked up my basket and said, "I'll put it away for you." "I was wondering whether a machine that scans for you would put the basket away for you," I said. "It's obviously not that smart." "No, the machine is not that advanced," he said. 😄

"and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen." Matthew 28: 20 ----- While I was snuggling my flatmate's cat, Zeus,  I said to him,  "The Lord is right here with us. Look, can you see Him?" Zeus stared at the "empty space" behind me and gazed at me. I knew Zeus could actually see God's presence. Zeus reminds me so much of a friend's cat called Mambo. She was also a black cat. Mambo had one of those plaintive miaows that tugs at your heart. My friend loved her. For personal reasons, he had to give her up, but he assured me she went to a good home. I 've often wondered how Mambo is. The last time I saw her was over 25 years ago. She's either long passed or is extremely old, if she's still alive. A few hours later, while I was invigilating at this art gallery, I noticed this visitor was wearing a black top. When he turned round, I noticed  the word "MAMBO" at the back of his top. I told him I had been think

"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33: 3 ---- On Saturday evening I texted my friend to let her know that I wouldn't be attending church the next day as I had to work. The next day, my friend sent me photos of a church event she was attending. When I told her I had been working at this hospital and museum for pensioners, she told me she almost applied for a role as an occupational therapist at that hospital. After I sent my friend some photos I had taken of the museum and hospital, she told me she had been wondering what the building looks like inside.  I told her God had made a way to answer her wondering by getting me that job and working through me to show her those photos. God is wonderful. ❤️ Some photos of the museum and hospital
