I am slowly praying my way through this Akathist.
*
I love the last line:
O Lord, my Lord, my joy, grant that I may
rejoice in Thy mercy!

I went to the informational networking interview.
It was hard.
I dressed up, hair and makeup done;
card and cookies with my thanks for the person's time.
*
It is hard to always put on a brave professional face
but God helped me keep it together.
My Christmas tree with cards I got in the mail.
So cute and small, my tree is!
Perfect for an apartment.
I have two main icons of St. Nicholas.
Had to show you this one as it is not only very beautiful
but is on a wall that is not blue;
had to console Margaret a little, as she loves my blue walls.
:)
So to everyone who celebrated St. Nicholas Day today -
Happy Feast!
St. Nicholas is one of the Saints I was close to from the time I was
a catechumen and I treasure his prayers of intercession that
have helped me so much
and are still active in my life now.

I am still having insomnia and dizziness from the insomnia.
I am seeking to look to God for help.
Thank you again everyone for your prayers and comments,
your encouragement is such a gift to me.
*
May God bless and keep us.
I love your little tree!
ReplyDeleteStill praying for you.

What does Cleo think of your little tree?
ReplyDeleteHi Emily,
ReplyDeleteSo far Cleo has not touched it; she had a 'talking to' about this! :) I'm sure she likes it fine though...
Now if I can only keep her off my table...
We've only received 1 Christmas card so far...anxious to get more...I love putting them out, like you've done!
ReplyDeleteYour little tree is darling.
Your tree is adorable! We had a little tree like that two years ago. The kids loved it. I hope the interview went well. Praying for you!!
