Spring Tea

Hello dear ones,

It's Tea Time!  Come and share a cup of tea with us!  

Spring has returned and with it comes lot of delightful things, like sweet little chicks, cute bunnies, singing birds, and the best of all . . . flowers.

Our first blooming of the season.

Here is another precious bird carved by my dear husband, an American Goldfinch.  My husband also carved his stand from a 2x4 piece of wood and tupelo wood.

Today we are serving an herbal tea and for the sweets we have chocolate almond treasures with chocolate drizzle and pecan queen baklava. 

The chicks came from CTS.

The pecan from the Pecan Queen is missing!

I think one of the little chicks ate it. ;)

Every Bunny Welcome!

The lovely bunny came from HomeGoods and the tricycle, nest and flowers from CTS.

Got to love that store!

May your Spring be a blossoming one . . .

May your nest be full of His Glory . . .

Sweet spring is your time 

is my time

is our time for springtime.

~ E.E. Cummings

and May His beauty shine upon you!

Take some time to smell the flowers this blossoming season!

With love,

I'm joining . . .

An Easter Prayer

 

Lord, now that spring is in the world,

and every tulip is a cup

filled with the wine of thy great love,

lift thou me up.

Raise thou my heart as flowers arise

to greet the glory of thy day,

with soul as clean as lilies are,

and white as they.

Let me not fear the darkness now,

since Life and Light break through thy tomb;

teach me that doubts no more oppress,

no more consume.

Show me that thou art April, Lord,

and thou the flowers and the grass;

then, when awake the soft spring winds,

I'll hear thee pass!
~ Charles Hanson Towne

God blesses the world with . . .

Easter

and flowers!

There are few hours in life more agreeable

than the hour dedicated to the ceremony

known as afternoon tea.

~ Henry James

It is at the Tea Table that Soul meets Soul.

No other beverage offers the versatility

found in a simple leaf of Tea.

Teatime Sweets

A tea is not considered a "tea" at all

without at least one dessert.

Are you tired and thirsty?

Come and be filled.

Drink from this cup.

There is a never~ending supply.

Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

A wish of mine, 

for a Happy Easter to thee and thine;

May sweet Spring flowers, and sunshine gay

Bring cheer to you, and brighten your way.

With lots of Love,

I'm joining . . .

His tomb is empty!

The Resurrection Story
The priests remembered that Jesus had said He would be raised from the dead after three days so they asked Pilate to seal the tomb until the third day to prevent Jesus' disciples from stealing His body and telling everyone He came back to life. Pilate had sent guards to seal and protect the tomb.

Now early on Sunday morning there was suddenly a great earthquake because an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone.  The angel's face shone like lightning, and its clothing was as white as snow.  The guards shook with fear when they saw the angel, and they fell into a dead faint.

Mary Magdalene and others came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled aside.  They couldn't find the body of Jesus.  Suddenly, they were terrified by angels who asked, "why are you looking in a tomb for someone who is alive?  He isn't here! He has risen from the dead! 
Matthew 28:5-7

The Resurrection of Christ

Our Savior is Risen!

One day all of the pain, fear, death, disease, and war will be gone.  Our joy and hope will be complete, and all because of the penalty that Christ paid for us.

Have a blessed Easter!
