The Prodigal Daughter Returns

A week ago, I chatted to a friend I met on set about the movie, "Black Swan." Today, while I was walking in the park with another friend, we spotted a black swan feeding on the grass. It's the first time I've ever seen one. I thought it was beautiful. After I filmed it, I realised the clip wasn't saved. I was really disappointed.    When we walked to the other side of the park, I saw a black swan. I'm not sure if it was the same one. After I filmed it, I made sure I had saved the clip. Thank you, swan! ❤️ Here are some more photos I took at St James's Park.

I have finally joined the millennials and younger generations -  I now have earbuds. The instructions made no sense to me so I had to watch YouTube videos how they work. I'm still learning how to operate the volume, etc. Thank you, God, for your provision. ❤️

(Previously posted on Facebook on 29.4.2022) "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12: 32 ---- I've never been a parent, but I believe those who are parents will be able to relate to this. My mum used to ask me why I liked Star Trek so much and I told her the same reason why she loved Coronation Street, the British TV soap.😆 Although mum couldn't relate to Star Trek, she did fall in love with Captain Janeway from Star Trek Voyager and lthe greedy aliens called the Ferrengis. It really didn't matter to mum what the episodes were about, she got great joy from the fact that I was enjoying myself.  I see that with parents who enjoy supporting their kids, even though they haven't a clue why their kids love what they love. ❤️ Photo taken at a Star Trek convention in London

"I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world." John 17: 15-16 ---- The school I was working at today was only about 10 to 15 minutes walking distance from home which made a nice change. On the way home, I had to cross this particular side atreet that had lots of cars parked on the rosd that were blocking my vision. I made sure the road was perfectly clear before I crossed. Later, my flatmate had to go out so she booked a cab. She told me she had noticed an air ambulance helicopter. When my flatmate returned home, she told me when she went out to get her cab, the main road was closed and she couldn't reach the cab. She had to cancel and order another cab. She told me the reason why the road was closed was because a kid had been run over and died at the scenr. That's why the air ambulance had arrived. Apparently, the accident had happened on the...

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2: 9 ---- When I woke up, I heard a voice within saying "I have a wonderful surprise for you!" Thank you, Lord, I look forward to it, I thought. It was the day of the teachers' strike and schools were closed. I didn't feel like going out. I decided to stay home and just relax. Later in the afternoon, I received a text from an old school friend who I haven't heard from in a while.  Just recently, I was looking through sone old photos of us taken many years ago. I also showed my new flatmate some photos I  had taken years ago with the same friend to celebrate our 50th birthday. In her text, my friend asked me what I was doing. I told her I had a day off and was home. I also told her I had recently moved to a new area. She texted me back to let me know she was actually visiting someone in my local area. I invited her t...

"For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself." Romans 14: 7 ---- Teachers are on strike again today and next Tuesday. When teachers are disgruntled and go on strike, other parts of the system are also affected such as: - pupils who miss out on teaching; - parents who have to take strike days off (paid or unpaid) to care for their kids or pay for childminders;  - staff who support teachers as they have to take time off unpaid;  - agencies who supply teaching staff; - public transport as there will be less people travelling.  I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now. Thank you, God, for a speedy resolution to this dispute in Jesus name.❤️

(Previously posted on Facebook on 28.4.2022) "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16: 15 ---- I believe the best thing about the Internet and social media is it enables the Gospel to be shared with billions of believers and non-believers all around the globe. This means you can attend Church wherever you are in the world.  I connect online with ministries I find inspiring via TBN and the God Channel. I'm so grateful to my mum for introducing me to these Christian channels, though I didn't appreciate them at the time.  Thank you, Jesus, for giving us the Gospel. ❤️
