My Heart Will Sing.....(Part 2)

This is Part 2 of a 3-part post…due to the fact that there was so much to share, through pictures and words, of a giant tea party that took place in my home church on Nov. 19th.  To read Part 1, please go to this post…. http://christintheclouds.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-heart-will-singpart-1.html
  • 84 tables
  • Table settings for 8 people per table
  • Teapots and teacups at every table
  • Unique centerpieces
  • Decorations
  • Take-home gifts for each guest
These are just a few of the things I saw at our annual Ladies Holiday Tea. There was so much to see, that sometimes it was overwhelming to look upon it all! I have put together several “collage pages” to share with you, as it would be impossible to download each table and display of the entire event. So here a few of my favorites…(left click on pictures, to enlarge)








What an amazing event! If you have never been to a ladies tea party, I would highly recommend it! Have an amazing Tuesday!
For Part 3, the final post in this series, with more pictures of this holiday tea party, go here!

In His Love,

    Hi Ann,
    Welcome to Tea Time Tuesday! I'm so happy to have you. The ladies tea at your church looks wonderful and I'm sure everyone had a grand time. I have that same white teapot with the lacy bottom. The centerpieces are very cute; especially liked the little white houses! Thanks for sharing the collages and joining me for tea today. A Happy Thanksgiving is wished for you and your family.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    @Johanna-thanks for stopping by. The event is a lot of work, but since there were over 100 volunteers, all I did was decorate my table and pour the tea. It was LOTS of fun.
    @Sandi-I'm so excited to be a part of your teatime today! It's so much fun meeting other bloggers with similar interests as I.
    @Antiques and Teacups-I will take some time real soon and check out your blog, too! Looks like lots of neat "tea" stuff to look at!

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

Image
  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
