Out of Hundreds of Pictures, I Chose Two

My Husband and I left yesterday around 4 PM to go to our far-away church,

it was their 20th anniversary and a celebration of

St Elizabeth the New Martyr and St John of Kronstadt. 

It was wonderful.

***

I helped out with the meal preparations but it was a wonderful vigil last night

 and liturgy and meal after today.

St Elizabeth is a special saint to me; one of my Mother Saints and we

share the same patron Saint: the Mother of St John the Baptist.

She is a big part of my Husband and I's early relationship and

I feel that she sent me to NJ to be his wife, that I was called for this.

I am grateful for her powerful prayers to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

***

On the way there we ate at a Thai restaurant, 

later, at the hotel I was hungry again and had a salad.

Today we feasted after liturgy and my Husband heated up leftovers for

both of us and we listened to the Hobbit being read out loud via audible. 

***

I am tired but grateful.

I have dreams of baking cookies tomorrow but we will see what God allows.

I know I need some rest too.

***

I did my best to pray for many who I know are struggling

and I am glad we can go to church to pray.

May God bless and help us all!
