👉🏻 Link to yesterday’s post.
Holy Father, my professional situation is extremely needy of my flexibility. The network of my previous employer is being moved, one application at a time, to my current employer’s facilities. There’s not many chances that I get much holiday or free evenings/weekends during the summer and I have not to be the weakest link in this chain of events. I pray You keep me focused and serene so everyone remains happy and thrilled by the better technical and administrative environment.
AGENDA
Today we celebrate Engratia.
Engratia was a native of Braga who had been promised in marriage to a nobleman of Roussillon. He sent as her escort to Gaul her uncle Lupercius (sometimes identified with the Luperculus who was a bishop of Eauze) and a suite of sixteen noblemen and a servant named Julie or Julia. Upon reaching Zaragoza, they learned of the persecution of Christians there by the governor Dacian, who reigned in the time of the emperors Diocletian and Maximian. She attempted to dissuade him from his persecution, but was whipped and imprisoned when it was discovered that she was a Christian. She died of her wounds. Her companions were decapitated. Although her martyrdom is traditionally placed around 303 during the Diocletianic Persecution, more recently it is considered probable that she died during the persecution of Valerian (254-260).

See you tomorrow, Frens! 🤓
Amen.
Mary!🤗💐
Pen! I know you're juggling a lot of work, but I know you. You're a doer. Just like yesterday, I too ran upon a 'mess' that I will finish 'chunking' out one job at a time. While I was off because of my son losing his job, Tiffany's grandmother got really ill and so Tiffany had to take some Family Leave off. Her grandmother was in a hospital that was about 135 miles away and so Tiffany had to do a lot of travelling as she had Power of Attorney over her well being. So Tiffany didn't get to do much and I wasn't there to do it for her. My son did the best he could cooking and taking care of the kids. So now that my son has found a job, and Yes, Tiffany's grandmother left us to be with God, I hit a DISASTER. 'CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY'. So I understand when you get bombarded with a lot of work that needs done ASAP. I think I should have her household back in order by Friday. Good luck to the both of us. Have a blessed day my friend.
My Dear Mary, when I am about to whine, I remember I am one of the lucky ones and not as brave as you proved and maybe never ever. I always pray you keep your joy, strength, serenity and focus.🙏🏻💐
You do not whine. You hang in there. Sometimes I have to go take a break and either 'cry' or think about it. Then I'm okay. But NO you are no whiner.
❤️
Leaving out now. See you tomorrow. Have a good one.
Thank you ! Blessings.
Thank you and bless you too!🙏🏻
I pray that Father gives you rest, strength and health in the secret places in each of us that are the wellspring of life and joy.
Thank you! Be well as well!🙏🏻
Good morning Penisse...a quick hi before I hit the sack once again...just to let you know that Christina will start serving her time April 29...moved forward by about 3 weeks. She will be serving 150-180 days in a women's detention center...which will seem like an eternity being away from family...her kids are 5 and 8. This was a plea deal that probably on the surface is good, but it doesn't do much for the sadness of the whole situation and the heartbreak that I feel as a mother. Thank you for your prayers...it means a lot...she just needs to have faith in God's sustaining grace, mercy and protection as she is away from her family and especially her resources...she is doing well, but reality often sucks...I am sure you know how that is...
I hope you all are well...life does seem to go on whether we want to actively participate or not...have a great day...
My Dear Tweetie, just let me know if at least this time in jail will avoid a felony stain on her curriculum?
I will pray for her and her family so they keep the Faith alive.🙏🏻💐
Unfortunately no...she will be a felon. I believe after so many years she can petition to have her record expunged. I thank you for your prayers...she needs to have faith that God is in charge and it will all work out for the best for everyone. It is a challenge for sure...😥...God is good all the time...and He loves us with an everlasting love...weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning...
As time goes by, it flies quicker when we get older. Let them know 5 months will soon be over and she will come back for good.🙏🏻💐 Will she get back her former job?🥺
I do not believe she will ever work hospice/social work again...there is the question of whether or not she will lose her license...it is actually up for renewal...there are certainly a lot of side issues...the worst is she won't be able to drive for three years when she comes home...she has been driving for 15 months since the accident...some things just don't make sense. She will also have $10,000 to pay for probation when she gets out, but they will impede her ability to work...oh well...
Hospice has turned into just a money-making organization that really doesn't care for their workers in terms of workload and that was part of the problem...it became too overwhelming. She was on family leave for 2 months and really should have just left after she came back...but that is hindsight. At least she is addressing major issues in her life in terms of dealing with stress and learning more about herself.
I can see why the recidivism rate is fairly high...they impede the healing process in a lot of ways...I get the idea of repeat offenders, but many of the restrictions are very difficult to overcome. I am sure the Lord will work it all out...but I can tell you driving is essential to where she lives in the mountains...especially with children...that is a definite negative. But you truly get what you get and have to make the best of it.
I think the fact that they took away 3 weeks of preparation for leaving has made her somewhat discouraged...so trusting God at this time is really important. She just needs to get beyond some of the negatives they are throwing her way...everything is somewhat shocking as she enters this new phase...but you are correct that time does seem to go quickly... so you know I appreciate your prayers...this is especially tough for her and her family, but it really is hard on us all...but God is still on the throne and totally in charge...you can't ask for much more than that...
That is testing news, I will mention her ordeal in tomorrow’s prayer so others will join.🙏🏻💐
