Today for Throwback Thursday I just HAD to share these pictures. Even though I did another post already. I had thought I’d try to weave these into my last post but I decided they needed a place of their own. When I go back in time and reminisce of these little guys my heart soars with joy! What fun they had!
I made them these little outfits so they could pretend to be clergymen. Joseph is swinging his “censor”. I saved one of the phelonion (poncho type garment Nicho has on) and gave one away. I look at it now and it is astonishingly small.
By the way, Nicholas has a big red dot on his forehead. This is actually a huge scab he got from giving himself a rug burn one Sunday at church.
This is just a lovely picture of the sweet boys from about 11 years ago. That means Joseph is 5 and Nicholas is 6 1/2.

I am an Orthodox Christian, a deacon’s wife, a mother, and an aspiring Kindler of Joy.
I believe I’ve begun to understand (finally), by the grace of God, where we can begin to find happiness. True happiness. My heart longs for a deeper connection to those around me and to creation. I want to feel joy not only in myself but to see it on the face of people I love and those that God brings my way.
Thus, begins my journey to become a Kindler of Joy. It is a journey, a path of learning and growing. So I’ve created my blog as a reminder to myself, daily, to open my eyes and find the beauty and joy around me. I long to share this joy, to spread this joy and to inspire others to become Kindlers of Joy. When we kindle joy in others we spread a light throughout this dark world. A light that is desperately needed.
Won't you join me in spreading this light, this joy?
