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!

My word for 2016: Happiness

Image
Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I'm a bit shocked at writing this post, as I I haven't picked a word for the year for myself for a few years. I hadn't planned on choosing a word this year till recently.  But because last year had SO many challenges for me and I gave so much of myself and felt so drained of energy by the end of the year. it just seemed appropriate to decide on a specific word for 2016. Definition from Dictionary.com "The state of being happy." synonyms: pleasure ,  contentment ,  satisfaction , cheerfulness,  merriment ,  gaiety ,  joy , joyfulness, joviality,  jollity ,  glee ,  delight , good spirits, lightheartedness,well-being,  enjoyment ;   exuberance ,  exhilaration ,  elation ,  ecstasy , jubilation ,  rapture , bliss,  blissfulness I've been reading and praying about the word - happiness - in Scripture, in Christian theological writings and blogs. I'm learning that happiness is not something God

Burn The Ships

Image
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

Spiritual Fervor

  We go through our daily routines,  but something is missing. Maybe d uring a crisis or a major life change....            or simply spending less and less time on spiritual pursuits. ...these c an cause us to enter a time in life                          when there's just no enthusiasm or spark. Ha ve you ever been the re before? I have!! There are days when it is difficult to find the drive and zest, even when I know I have the greatest reason to be zealous . Lacking zeal or losing spiritual fervor is som ething that the believer needs to be aware of as he /she progresses in one's spiritual life.  As we grow in our knowledge of Biblical truths and the things of God it becomes quite familiar and the wonder of first discovery can diminish over the years. It is here that spiritual boredom can set in.  Zeal is a fruit of deeply abiding in the One Who is Life! It is different than mere excitement, which happens mostly outwardly and at the surfa
