The 53rd Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday; King George VI

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.

Bede Jarrett

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.
