A Colorful Easter Tea Party

Welcome to my Easter Tea Party!
 Just having a small party out on my back deck.
Won't you join me, as I share a few old and new tea things.
 I don't own any real "spring" looking dinnerware, but I found these paper plates and fun decorations at our local Dollar Tree Store.(Wish they did make this design in dinnerware. I would buy it!)
I love flowers and the bright pastel colors are beautiful!

 I love the flower edged plate to set my blue frosted cupcakes on.
 I couldn't decide which plates to set, as these were lovely, too! So I used both.
The little Easter gift baskets were perfect for adding a few jelly-bean eggs.
 I just got these new teacups from Pier 1 Imports. I had been wanting to buy these colorful designed cups for quite a while. They came in a set of 4 and are stack-able.
 I also got this cute turtle teapot at Pier 1. The colors match the colors in my new teacups.
 Another spring-like teapot I've had for years is this birdhouse. It's really a "tea for 1" pot and cup.
 Since it is Easter, I couldn't forget getting a little chocolate. I found this cute card and edible cross, a perfect gift for a special friend!
 This is the front...what a beautiful design!
 Inside the card is a perfect quote, surrounded by more flowers and butterflies.
 My tiny spring angel, with her sweet little bird, joined our party, too.
 The vanilla cupcakes served today have a yummy fluffy whipped blue frosting, so it's not too sugary!
 I really love color! I made this floral centerpiece myself, with silk flowers and butterfly from the Dollar Tree Store.
 Here are my new teacups stacked up. They store very well in this holder, that came with the set.
 I love all the different colored handles.
 Another interesting chocolate find! Jesus is the TRUE reason we celebrate  
Easter

So glad you could join me today for my tea party.

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

Image
  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
