Shsring My Fan

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."  2 Corinthians 1: 3-6

At this historical place I was working at, I had to patrol several rooms and ensure everything was tickety-boo.

I noticed one visitor lying on a chaise longue. While visitors can sit on the furniture, I wasn't sure whether they could lie on them. I asked one staff and he said they weren't allowed, unless the visitor wasn't feeling well. 


I went over and asked the visitor, who was now sitting up, if she was feeling okay. She told me she was feeling really hot. She and her friend were from New York and they were not used to being in buildings that didn't have airconditioning alhough there were fans around thre building.  I loaned her my hand fan which helped to keep her cool. She and her friend told me they were off to a famous department store as it had airconditioning. 😀

After I said goodbye to my American friends, I noticed other visitors struggling with the heat and I loaned them my fan.

Later on the bus home, I noticed this woman sitting in front of me was using a piece of paper to fan her face. I took my fan out, switched it on and asked her if she wanted to borrow it. She was really grateful. After fanning her neck for a few minutes, she returned my fan.

Thank you, God, for blessing me with this fan that I can use to comfort others in need. ❤️

What is My Function?

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,...

If at First You Don't Succeed

So I put a quiche in the oven to heat it up. By the time I checked it again, it was overdone. I had to scrape the burnt bits off. I didn't share that information with my flatmate, who was at work at the time. The very next day, my flatmate bought me the exact same quiche from the supermarket. I told her I had "cooked" a quiche the day before but it was more burnt than cooked. I believe God had inspired my flatmate to buy that quiche for me. It was His way of saying, if at first you don't succeed, try again.😊 Tomorrow I will have the quiche and be sure to follow the heating instructions. Thank you, Lord, for caring about everything that concerns me including cooking. ❤️

Shopping with the Holy Spirit

Image
Because my job involves standing up for hours, I needed to get new footwear as the cheap trainers I've been wearing have been very uncomfortable. I have several trainers which are very comfortable, but they are too colourful for work as your shoes have to be black. My ideal would be black trainers that could pass as smart shoes where the logo is either hidden or not that obvious. The first thing I did was check the website of my favourite brand of trainers, I found a pair I liked. Because they said they come in small sizes, I decided to visit one of their stores at Oxfird Street (Europe's busiest shopping street with 200+ shops) where I could try them on for size. After work, I caught the bus to Oxford Street. As the bus was driving  by, I noticed a shop that someone had recommended. (I actually have one of their trainers, but they are in pink and blue and not suitable for work). There was another shoe shop next door that I am also familiar with.  Should I get off the bus? Nah...
