Oh, I thought this was one of the boys in the 5 kids Despond household, but it turned out to be daughter Jill. Quite cute anyway, although I’m not a fan of the game’s random outfits. Not sure what gave her this outfit though, might be a good reason I forgot. And it fits well with the heavy Christmas decor outside on the terrace rail (previous post), despite it’s being mid Summer and hot-hot-hot.

We can endlessly despond, complain, and distort the very sacrament of confession by judging our neighbors, murmuring against God, and forgetting to judge the one who is most at fault for our problems: ourselves. Such a person becomes a barren fig tree. And it will go on this way until we begin to judge ourselves, give thanks to God for everything He sends us, understanding that every moment of life, every day for an Orthodox Christian is a step leading us to the Lord in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is these temptations, sent from God to each one of us, to our souls, with our illnesses, with our frailties that our souls need to overcome in order to ascend to immortality.

—Archimandrite Tikhon Shevkunov
