As you may know, Spirited Away is one of my favorite films.  I was surprised to find that these little guys had made their way into one of my Christmas presents, containing a replacement cookbook.  Or, maybe it was the original cookbook that had gone missing...and they were returning it!!

Here's a scene from the film:

They like to eat the little stars that you use to decorate cakes.  Fortunately I had some on hand!

How long, O Lord?  Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes,
lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Lest my enemy say,
"I have prevailed against him";
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in Your unfailing love;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for He has been good to me.

— Psalm 13
