Christmas - the second one...

Christ is born!

Glorify Him!

*

Liturgy was beautiful this morning.

*

Celebrated at a fellow parishioner's house afterwards.

This is the ornament my sister gave me

for Christmas

from Romania -

she has the same one

which makes it even more special to me.

The cloth under it my Oma made

and my Mom gave it to me over the holidays.

I received this Icon today.

I do not know which Icon of the Mother of God this is.

Can anyone tell me?

I really love it!

*

More trusting God in my life...

There are two job ads for library jobs in Ottawa;

both I have some reservations about,

that are unbloggable.

I have not heard from either of the phone interviews I had in the past month.

*

Checked email today around 5 pm;

I was asked about a temporary clerical job via job agency

to start Monday.

They had emailed early in the morning when I was walking to church

for liturgy.

So I did not get that job.

Would of provided future rent money.

But I am trusting God for His mercy.

He has provided enough that I will be okay for the next

month and a half.

*

I am seeking to trust God for my daily needs.

*

Tomorrow I am having my Ottawa Birthday Party!

Thanks for all your suggestions!

I ended up going with a beef roast and side dishes

(one of you suggested beef roast, thanks!)

I'm excited for this lunch/dinner party!

*

I received a beautiful CD of Christmas carols

sung in French, Italian, and German;

The candle is lit by the icon I have of the Nativity.

God is so clearly providing for me;

when I think of the abundance at the table

for my Christmas Eve dinner,

I cannot but be thankful -

Friends brought three loaves of really good bread,

lots of clementine oranges (and I had been wishing for some!),

pickled vegetables...

I am a bit behind in my blog reading, so if I normally comment on your blog

and have not, know that it is merely because

of the business of the days.

*

My love to all

and my wishes and prayer that God will comfort and strength us all

according to our needs.
