I do St Nicholas day twice





For the cookies below, that is, chocolate chip with dried cherries,
I used a powder egg replacer + 4 tbs of water in place of the egg and 1/4 cup of milk. 
I did not use nuts and used dried cherries instead of the fresh cranberries
 (I have used fresh cranberries before too!)





Soft tacos for dinner! A vegan fast-special :)


Saint Nicholas!!! 




I love St Nicholas so much!
We were at vespers for his feast tonight!
I hope to be at vigil for his feast in 13 days,
on the 19th!  :) 
We are in good hands when we trust St Nicholas for help!
His prayers are mighty and quick to hear!
More than once I would get unexpected monies on his day
when I was a student...
I was chrismated at his church in MI... 
I asked him to go with me to MI when I left BC,
knowing that I would be going to his church...
He has done so! 
***
My Husband loved my cookies! He commented that they
were really good and when I asked how many he had,
I was pleased to hear he ate 3 of them :) 
***
I am hoping to make more cookies, maybe another double batch tomorrow...
I like to give out cookies on St Nicholas' day and
it's going to be my main present for Mr Husband this year... :)
***
I am slowly gathering things for Christmas gifts,
I love baking and raiding the pantry for things.
My Husband printed our Christmas letter/card and soon I will have to start
working on this as well...
***
I was really inspired with the joy of yesterday's feast and with the
anticipation of St Nicholas's days to pray about our
unbloggable situation and ask for a miracle.
I don't know what miracle i am asking for, but asking I am doing.
***
I hope each of you are blessed and finding encouragement 
no matter what struggle you find yourself in today!

I had an odd little thought when you said you were praying for a miracle for your unbloggable trouble, but that you didn't know what miracle you hoped for. Here's my thought: when we pray for a solution to a problem, we pray that something we've chosen will happen. When we pray for a miracle, we're allowing room for an unexpected resolution that we never could have imagined! May resolution come!
