The Prodigal Daughter Returns

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Proverbs 14: 12 ---- I find the above Proverb to be true. There are times when you are excited about something and believe you're doing the right thing at that moment and it seems to be going well. Somewhere down the road, it all goes pear shaped. That's why it's important to let God be your guide every step of the way. He who knows the past, present and future will let you know whether your choice is the right one or not. That happened to me while I was in this special relationship with someone I believed I was going to marry. I was devastated when the relationship broke down. Now I know it would never have worked out in the long term as we would have been on different paths. I'm a Christian and he is not. You cannot be yoked to an unbeliever. (See 2 Corinthians 6: 14) Thank you, God, for steering me in the right direction.❤️ ---- "Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all H...

We had a great shoot today with dry weather; lots of fun and laughter with my colleagues; and the meal was so delicious I took some home. We also wrapped early, which was a bonus. Four of us girls walked to the station together. Thank you, God, for an easy, fun and wonderful day. ❤️

"Freely you have received, freely give." Matthew 10: 8 ---- About two weeks ago, I found a packet of tissues on the pavement, which I picked up. Today, I finally put the tissues in my rucksack in case I needed them. On the train to work, this young lady sitting beside me asked me if I had any tissues. I pulled out the packet and offered her two of them. I find it interesting how the moment I put the tissues I had freely received in my rucksack, God sent me someone who needed some. In fact,  I don't remember any adult ever asking me for tissues before. As I freely receive,  I freely give. ❤️ Photo of the packet of tissues .

The last time I attended my local Methodist church, I complained to the organist about an unfamiliar tune he had played for a hymn I loved.  Today after the service finished, the organist asked me if I was happy with all the tunes. I told him I wasn't very familiar with the tune used for the last hymn. He told me he had something to show me. I accompanied him to his organ. He pulled out this book and said that's where he got the tune I wasn't keen on two weeks ago.  He also played two hymns and asked if I recognised them. I vaguely did. He then asked me to sing the hymn in the tune I knew and I sang two lines, but couldn't remember the rest of the melody. After I looked it up on YouTube, I shared it with the organist and he recognised it.u The organist said although he's willing to accommodate my likes and dislikes, he thinks I'm still too attached to my old school tunes. 😊 That's what I like about small churches, you can influence them to make changes more...

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6: 33 ---- Over the last few weeks, I have been attending a local Methodist church, which is a lot closer to home than the one I belong to. After the service, they offer tea/juice and biscuits and you can chat to members and other attendees. (I don't drink tea, I have juice). Two weeks ago, after I introduced myself to a senior member of the church, she said, "Can I ask you a favour?" "Of course!" "I have misplaced my phone. Could you pray for me to find it?" "Yes. I believe God knows where your phone is and He will reveal it to you." "I know there are lots more important things in the world to pray about," she said, "but I don't want to lose my phone." "I believe God cares about everything that concerns us, large and small including your phone. You will find it," I assured her. Last week, ...

"Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." Isaiah 65: 24, NIV ---- One morning, while I was waiting at the bus stop, the bus timetable kept saying there was one due in one minute, but that one minute was taking forever. By then, there were several of us at the stop and we were wondering about the delay. I had intended to travel by bus to work but it was now too late to travel by bus all the way. I was going to have to catch the tube when the bus finally arrived.  I thought, Lord, what's going on? Why is our bus delayed? Please send our bus! Within a minute, a woman walking by stopped and told us that she had been on the first bus. She said when the bus driver refused a passenger entry because they didn't have the right fare, the passenger flipped and started kicking the door and the window.  The driver had to terminate and call the police. That was why there was a huge delay. We thanked the woman for letting us know and I also thanked...

At the last event I worked at, they provided meals. I was hoping this week's event would be the same. Alas, thid was a different company and agency. I quickly learned to buy my own. Yesterday, while I was having a break in the staff room, this man came in with a box of sandwiches which he said we could have. I took two which I kept for my next break. Later, another man approached me and a colleague and gave us cans of fizzy drinks. Thank you, God, for providing food and drink that I didn't have to pay for. ❤️
