Who moved my cheese - oops milk powder 🤣🤣🤣

How Long Does Powdered Milk Really Last?
As kids we all must have done some weird stuff . And if you have a sibling with whom you are always competing then the chances of doing weird things are higher. Like fighting to lick the remains of the cake batter from the mixing bowl, to be the first to wipe out residues of fresh whipped butter from the mixie jar or saving up your part of the treat and wait for everyone to finish so that you can have yours when everyone else is watching. Yup that’s me for you as a teenager 😁


However my biggest weakness was eating stolen "milk powder" [Anikspray].I disliked fresh milk but loved to eat spoon full of milk powder. Since that was not formally acceptable at home I would take it on the sly and eat it . As a result our help at home would come in the line of fire as the milk powder would disappear before you knew it . When an enquiry was done, no one owned up and I too pledged my innocence. 


One fine day our help replaced the milk powder with white flour and me not suspecting anything , took couple of heap filled spoons and put it in my mouth . I almost choked with all of the flour in my mouth. Finally the cat was out of the bag and the mystery solved . I think our help must have felt nothing less than a Julian or George from “ Famous Five” in cracking the mystery !! 


So I stood exposed and after that incident if anything went missing or something could not be found the first person to be in the witness box was none else than me. And at times even if I was telling the truth, I was deprived of any pity or empathy 😇

Truth is something that we always like to tweak a bit to fit into our situation. There is nothing like a half truth or 3/4th truth . Truth is 💯 % truth . Nothing less nothing more. It's something that we should all speak and it should be taught to kids early in life . Truth is the very foundation in every relationship and on the basis of truth trust is built . It is so difficult to build but easy to distort or destroy. 


Truth is one of the most important armour that Apostle Paul speaks in the Book of Ephesians that every person should be wearing . Truth he says is like a belt that encompasses or cleaves on us . We should speak truth and know the truth. Truth sets us free . Truth opens our eyes in knowing Christ who is the only WAY , the TRUTH & the LIFE ! Reading the Gospels will bring you to speed in knowing the truth.All the chapters are key . 


So now you have the key, don't lose it-use it . It will unlock great treasures and wealth that money can't buy .

The Watch Repairer

Image
Couple of my watches required battery replacement …. but oufff the price in this region to change the battery can be more expensive than buying a new watch 🫠 However we figured out the place where we could get original batteries at half price and with a guarantee for 2 years .. woooo that was amazing .  The watch repairer was a very unassuming person who took his tools and carefully opened the side of the watch where the battery had to be replaced.  And boy the insides of the watch looked so amazing … intricately done and it needed someone with precision and understanding to get the watch working again . He also cleaned the inside and reset the time, date and in few minutes my watch was working and looked as good as new with a little bit of cleanup too in the inside and outside !! This got me thinking !! We have been made so wonderfully and crafted so intricately in the inside. When we come to the end of our resources or feel depleted within, come to the Maker. He calls us to draw fro

I AM NEW

Image
I was in a bit of a hurry when I went to the local supermarket last week. The lady who was supposed to help me with packing the condiments & dips seemed to be from another planet . She looked lost , confused and irritable. I did not have much time to be able to deal with her mood swings.  However something caught my eye. There was a badge this lady was adorning which said “ I am new here". Well that explained it all !!! She was not able to understand things well and might still been trying to navigate her way through.  Suddenly my perspective changed and there was a paradigm shift.  I became more patient and kind towards her in my approach. I bought the things on the list and left the place wishing her all best in her new role ✨!!  I then thought to myself- wish I had a badge on me which would read  “ a sinner , saved by grace alone”, or “ bear with me as I am not perfect “, or “ extend me grace when I fall ” or “ forgive me, I do make mistakes”  May be if I had them on, thing

What’s your trigger

Image
  When our little dachshund Coffee, was tiny and when we all had to step out , we had to keep her closed in the kitchen . The kitchen has three doors , so it was a bit of challenge to keep her in and have the doors  closed as she would dash out from the other. So we had to strategically close two doors and leave her in and shut the door on her. This was done only for three months period as we then had a help who became available full time. It is now four years and Coffee is also four + , but whenever a door is shut, specially the kitchen door she panics and gets fearful with the thought of being closed up again !! Most of us also get triggered when we are reminded of an event or situation in the past and we feel overwhelmed and fear takes over . It probably may be something we went through as a child or even in our growing up years or even as an adult .  Are we then called to be in that place of fear and anxiety and not move ahead in life ? The answer is NO ! As believers we have been
