Today I join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday. For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live. God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.
Joy comes in many forms.
And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as
celebrating with Saint Nicholas
the love of God in the Incarnation.
being just as grand as
the love of God in the Incarnation.
I must be open to it!

Good Saint Nicholas
Most generous follower
Model of giving
Good Saint Nicholas
He teaches humility
Heed his example
~~~^j^~~~
So it is that we are called to follow the Savior in HUMILITY and LOVE for all. And Saint Nicholas lived his life in such a way that we might know that it is possible even today to be giving and loving as our Savior and Lord has taught us to be.
