The Prodigal Daughter Returns

 "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him." Psalm 91: 15 ---' Although I've been at that school before, it was the first time I would be working in this particular year group. Before the kids arrived, the teacher briefed me about what to expect.  She then gave me a list of names of pupils that were going to need special attention.  I thought, "Holy Spirit, I need your help now!"😀 As it was a big class, there was a lot of preparation to do. At one point, the teacher asked if I wanted to have a break and go for a cup of tea, but I said no.  I also had to give support to another class teacher. Later during the day, I asked the first teacher how her day was going. She said the kids in her class were a lot calmer than usual.  Go, Holy Spirit! 🙏 In the afternoon,  I had to assist the first teacher. She asked me to work with the "problem kids" who like to chat a lot and not follow i...

 "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." Mark 10: 14 "All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cepha or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.' 1 Corinthians 3: 21-23 'The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ," Romans 8: 16-17 ---- I've noticed that young kids at school fight a lot over toys which they think belongs to them. This boy I was working with in class had no interest in writing words, he was only interested in playing with these building bricks. I put the toy away and told him he could play with it after he'd done some writing. I also told him it will be nice to tell his mum and dad that he had written some words instead of playing all day. Later, the boy noticed another pupil was now playing...

 A conversation I had with a couple of five year old boys at school. Boy: Miss, how old are you? Me: A lot older than you. Boy: Are you 26? Me: Slightly older. Boy: 99? Me: Younger. Boy: 93? Me: Yes, I am 93 years old. He ran into the class and announced: "Miss is 93 years old!" 😀 Another boy I was chatting to was making a plane with building blocks. He then mentioned a very popular and cheap airline. Boy: Do you know how much it costs to fly on their plane?" Me: No, tell me. Boy: £26,000! Me: Wow, now that's a lot of money. When he finished building his plane, I asked if I could ride on his plane. Boy: No. Me: But, it's supposed to be a plane! Boy: You are too heavy to ride on my plane. Kids can be hilarious! 😀

 Reminder to self' ^fixing our eyes on Jesus,  the pioneer  and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,  scorning its shame,  and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews `12: 2

 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5: 22-23 ---- During another bus journey, this woman sat next to me. I had to keep adjusting my arm as her arm was squashing mine and I was feeling very uncomfortable. She also couldn't control her body and kept leaning agsinst me whenever the bus changed directions. I prayed for her to get off, but she stayed put. As there were now empty seats, I asked for her to move to an empty seat. Not happening! Maybe, I can ask her how far she's travelling. If she's going all the way like me, I could ask her to move to an empty seat. Not a good idea as she might be offended. I then had the idea to swap seats. So I moved downstairs where there were now empty seats and remained there till the last stop. Thank you, God, for showing me how to be kind in an uncomfortable situation. ❤️

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s." Psalm 103: 2-5 ---- I recently applied to join an agency for casual work. I had to go for an interview so they could ascertain whether I was the right fit fot the agency and their clients. I was then accepted. The next step was for me to formally register with the agency, which involves uploading required documents like your ID, right to work etc and signing contracts. It took almost a week before I completed the registration. As soon as I had formally registered at the agency, I was bombarded with jobs that I can say yay or nay to. I haven't chosen any yet. It got me thinking that becoming a born again Christian is rather like joining an agency. However, Jesus...

When I came out of the library, I spotted a branch of a shop, where I usually get savoury sausage rolls, right opposite. Why not treat myself to one? When I crossed over, the shop was nowhere in sight. I could have sworn I had seen it or was I dreaming? After a few minutes of searching, I decided to get a salt fish pattie from this West Indian shop instead. Later, as I was walking down the road and munching on my patty, I spotted the shop I had been looking for. The shop is actually five minutes walk away from the library, and yet, I had seen it right in front of me. It was now too late to get a sausage roll from them. I have had these kinds of visions many times before. For instance, I would be waiting at the bus stop and I would see the bus I am waiting for approaching, but the actual bus will not physically appear until a few minutes later. It's as if I am able to see the immediate future right in front of me. I believe since all time is now, then I guess that's why I can se...
