"'This is a night as long as years,' Aragorn said. 'How long will the day tarry?'
'Dawn is not far off,' said Gamling, who had now climbed up beside him. 'But dawn will not help us, I fear.'
'Yet dawn is ever the hope of men,' said Aragorn."
—J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
Lighten their darkness, we beseech you, O Lord, and by your great mercy defend them from all perils and dangers of this night, through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🇺🇦
I'm a conference interpreter, I interprepret 10 hrs peace talks. But today live on German TV I couldn't finish interpreting Zelensky, during his last words I broke into tears.
I love you all, my fellow Ukrainians
@MelsGedanken Ich werde dieses Jahr Social Media fasten, um die Zeit anders einzusetzen.
Süßigkeiten 🍬 habe ich oft gefastet, mache das evtl wieder. Aber hauptsächlich wg. Gewichtskontrolle. Dieses Jahr möchte ich aber "tiefer" fasten.

"They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore."

@Miss_Rotstift @Dr_Emergencydoc @frau_julie Mein Cousin kam bei mir nicht zu Wort (meine Mutter war auch seine Tagesmutter). Als sein kleiner Bruder geboren wurde und er ein paar Tage von mir getrennt war (mut 2), redete er seine ersten Worte. Und Dreiwortsätze gleich dazu.
@alyssagdcourage Growing up I had the fortune to spend a year spend Canada. A lovely Indian girl befriended me, and through her generous family I got to know Infisn food. It's still my absolute favorite.
God often calls us to wait for His promises.
Noah: 120 yrs for the promised rain
Abraham: 25 yrs for the promised son
Joseph: 22 yrs for the promised dream
Simeon: his whole life for promised Messiah
What promise are you trusting God for?
He may seem slow, but He's faithful
