Temperature Control

While I was taking a break at this expo I was working at, I thought to myself that the exhibition centre was really hot. Suddenly, I noticed this guy with a hi vis jacket walking by. At the back of his jacket were the words, "Temperature Control." He sat down to have his meal. I approached him and said, "I've been thinking how hot it is here and you showed up. Are you the temperature control man?" "No, I'm working at another company," he said. He did find it rather amusing though. I'll just have to trust in God to control the temperature.😄 ---- Related Bible verses:. 3 Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in [b]a son of man, in whom there is no [c]help. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish. 5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the Lord his God, 6 Who made heaven and earth," Psalm 146: 3-5

One Faith, One Baptism, One God

"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

Help from an Old Friend

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.  ❤️

Smart But Not That Smart

 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. 😄

Mambo

"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

How God Answered My Friend

"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 

The Lord Never Changes

"For I am the Lord, I change not." Malachi 3: 6 ---- It's a new day and a new venue. Today, I'm working at Covent Garden (CG) in central London.  When I was in my twenties, I used to hang out a lot with friends at CG  enjoying the pubs and shops. Since then, a lot of the old shops have gone and been replaced by new trendy ones. And yet, the market and the buildings around  CG remain the same. I believe the changing shops represent different generations and ages while the buildings and market represent the Lord who never changes. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13: 8 Blessings to all. ♥️
