Holy Father, when You expect us to be somewhere and do something, You don’t just give us an opportunity, You let us notice it. Whatever oddity we come upon can be a Sign. Either it means « Do » or « Don’t ». In both case we have to be fully conscious of the choice we make. Knowing it comes from You makes us focus on why because, even if You have Your mysterious Ways, You want us not to be unconscious robots when we achieve in Your name. Finding one’s Faith does not come to one as if it had to be performed like a culinary recipe. Faith is the outcome of a personal Awakening, we cannot and mustn’t force our Faith onto someone else, nor can we question his own Faith.
AGENDA
Today we celebrate Saint Spyridon.
Spyridon was born in Assia, in Cyprus. He worked as a shepherd and was known for his great piety. He married and had one daughter, Irene. Upon the death of his wife, Spyridon entered a monastery, and their daughter entered a convent. Spyridon eventually became Bishop of Trimythous, or Tremithous (today called Tremetousia), in the district of Larnaca. He took part in the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea (325), where he was instrumental in countering the theological arguments of Arius and his followers. He reportedly converted a pagan philosopher to Christianity by using a potsherd to illustrate how one single entity (a piece of pottery) could be composed of three unique entities (fire, water and clay); a metaphor for the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. As soon as Spyridon finished speaking, the shard is said to have miraculously burst into flame, water dripped on the ground, and only dust remained in his hand (other accounts of this event say that it was a brick he held in his hand). After the council, Spyridon returned to his diocese in Tremithous. He later fell into disfavor during the persecutions of the emperor Maximinus, but died peacefully in old age.
Today in 1503 passed Sten Sture the Elder.
Sten Sture the Elder (Swedish: Sten Sture den äldre; 1440 – 14 December 1503) was a Swedish statesman and regent of Sweden from 1470 to 1497 and again from 1501 to 1503. As the leader of the victorious Swedish separatist forces against the royal unionist forces during the Battle of Brunkeberg in 1471, he weakened the Kalmar Union considerably and became the effective ruler of Sweden as Lord Regent for most of his remaining life.

See you tomorrow, Frens!🤓
Beautiful. Check your mail for something weird.
Mary!🤗💐
At least this dress is not exposing too much of the kiddie. I would however check the background of whoever got her to enter this contest.
Some friend of Tiffany's whose only daughter used to enter them. Her daughter hated it but did it to please her mother. Now the daughter is grown and away from home and she focused on Ninky. She convinced Tiffany by paying for her dress and everything. She said she loved doing it because she always wanted to be in pageants. She also has 2 boys at home and no other girls. I told/asked Tiffany not to continue doing this. You can tell Ninky is scared to death.
8 millions kids disappear every year, every pageant has to be driven by at least one child predator, this is obscene.🙏🏻💐
I know. I highly object to this crap. Tiffany said that she is telling her friend that 'Ninky' will not be the stand in for her dreams. When the woman's own daughter said she hated doing it but her mother insisted, you know something is wrong.
Good morning, my friend. I hope this holiday season is everything you hoped it would be...family, friends, faith and fun. I am running a bit behind on things but it will all work out in the wash. The rain is gone and now we have sunshine but it's cold.
I am attending a funeral today for the husband of one of my exercise buddies. She is a wonderful Christian lady...probably the sweetest person in the group. Her husband passed away unexpectedly last week. It is tragic but reminds us that no one is guaranteed tomorrow and we need to live each day as if it is our last. We have a Christmas party tonight with our prayer group...another wonderful group of people. I am blessed with good friends online, in the community and even childhood friends. I am very blessed.
And then there is family...we are all so busy. Today I will get to see Christina's family and my youngest son and 2 grandkids for a bit. My granddaughter is having a tea party for her birthday so the family is hanging out at our house until it's over.
Christina is well...just struggling a bit to find what direction she will move forward in career-wise. Social work hospice is out but some different opportunities are emerging and she wants to be sensitive to where God is leading. It is a period of flux but that often brings us to a place of greater understanding.
I hope you and Anne are well...I guess fall is nearly over and we will be greeting winter, which makes us appreciate spring...and life goes on for most of us. God bless your family as you try to make a difference in your part of the world. I know you are busy and work so hard at so many things...have a great day, Penisse...I am so glad to count you as a friend 🧡 ...
Hello my dear Tweetie, thank you for all these welcome news. I am sorry for your widowed friend and pray she finds solace and joy in some godly ways.🙏🏻💐
