Welcome to our 53rd,

'Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday'!
Human love and the delights of friendship,
out of which are built the memories that
endure, are also to be treasured up as
hints of what shall be hereafter.

Welcome to all our dear friends! Thank you for dropping by for tea and sharing your favorite treasures. Many "Thank you's", are expressed in today's post. I am always eager and grateful to receive guests, like yourself. Tea is such a universal bond. This week I want to say "Thank you", to those kind souls who sent messages and prayers when I was not well over the Easter weekend. A true blessing. And to my dear friend Wanda, for caring and visiting with me, when I was at her home. "Thank you" dear friend for your many kindnesses.We missed the midnight chatter, the laughter, the secrets, the shopping, antiquing and foodie adventures with tea. I can't imagine that I returned without a new teacup...but shows you how dreadful I felt. Better days ahead and Wanda and I will make up for the time lost this visit.
The talk around the tea table will be a buzz with the world events as they have unfolded the last week or so. I wonder how many ideas we could put on a list of what we are grateful for.
I'll start with a couple: a loving God and his gift of life eternal, friends I hope will be there with me.

I Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
I Thessalonians 5:18 (The Message)
16-18 Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.

I am happy to read you are on the mend and see you have posted a tea time Tuesday. Seeing this tea cup is a Royal Albert , and knowing my favorite tea cups here at home are also Royal Albert, well.. seems we both appreciate a good tea cup and probably a good cup of tea !
ReplyDeleteStunning! I love the pearls and you're right, you must wear pearls. The fresh flowers shout "spring is here!" and look lovely on your table. Thank you for sharing your lovely tablescape.

ReplyDeleteHi Pam found you on VTT but not sure which post is which. It doesn't matter. I am so pleased to meet you and love the china with the fleur de lis since that is the official symbol of Louisville Ky. up the road from em. I can tell you have been ill and prayers will be sent up for you as you will go on my prayer list, if ok with you. Blessings

I'm so sorry that you were ill over Easter. My computer was down for ten days, so I was unaware of your illness. But I'm now able to make the rounds to visit my blogging friends - like you. ;)
ReplyDeleteAs always, your tea settings look divine. And I wish to thank you, also, for your faithful use of Scripture verses in your posts. The one in this post is a timely reminder for me in the trial I'm currently facing.
Thank you for continuing to link to the party with your delightful posts.
Blessings,
Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage
