The Joy in Tea Tea Talk

Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the

 comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company.

~~Author Unknown~~

I'm having...Irish breakfast tea.

My teacup...is a one of my festive colored mugs!   It's cheerful and pleasant to the eye early in the morning!

I'm feeling... better.  Yesterday I had some "bug" but it has since moved on!!!

On my mind... preparation for tonight's Bible Study.  Will begin the study of the Letter to the Hebrews.  

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

~~~~~~~

Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

Joy comes in many forms.

And this day has the potential of
being just as grand as

the tulips in Spring.  I must be open to it!

~~~~~~~

Finally, take a moment to relax and play at putting together this simple jigsaw puzzle.  Be a kid again for just a little while!

Picture Puzzle Day

Green and yellow, what lovely colors. They speak of hope and optimism. If there are two things this world need now are HOPE AND OPTIMISM. I think pessimism has carried us through the winter. Now we have to let it go and rise to a new day.

Daffodil yellow
Fragrances sweet and mellow
Spring rises in them.

Join me please today as we share a spring day just before we begin to celebrate the beginning of the holiest weeks of the year. Let us begin with hope that comes to fruition in the Resurrection.

I would ask you to share a picture of hope, as you see it, and challenge all of us to enjoy it as we put all the pieces together. Something broken that we can make whole. Enter the world of JigZone and play along today!

Anticipation...

Thought that it would be good to have some diversion. Spring is a mere 4 weeks away. Looking forward we are a people of hope, and so it is that I thought I would offer a puzzle that might be fun and offer some hope of spring. So here it is for your pleasure.

One Day It Had To End

Today as a fitting end to the career of Collette my Canon camera I thought I would post her last picture as a puzzle. So as I bid a fond farewell to Missy and all the times we had making wonderful pictures that I could share in the Book of Wit 'n' Wisdom, scrapbooks, and postings. Collette you were a trouper!!!



Wishing all a grand day! Will be shopping for a new camera and so pictures may be from my archives until a new "Collette" is found!

Picture Puzzle Day

Saint Francis of Assisi
Santa Fe, New Mexico
July, 2008

I thought I'd start back slowly for "Simon's" sake after his visit to the IT Dr. It is great to have your personal computer physician. However, it is still frightening when awaiting the diagnosis. This time Mike could treat the illness and now "Simon" is home.

Wishing all who visit her a wonderful weekend!!!

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!

Please enjoy the puzzle this weekend and if you wish to share a puzzle with us just add your name to Mr. Linky below!

Picture Puzzle Day

Niagara Falls
June ,2000

Have missed the puzzle this week. Perhaps this a good time to do it. It's a lazy Saturday and I can sit with a cup of tea and just relax.

Having been to Niagara Falls I must say I was awestruck by it's grandeur. When standing right next to the river I was aware of the power the water contained!!! It was magnificent!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend full of lazy hours!!!

Glass Sculpture
Indianapolis Children's Museum

Taken at Christmas time last year, it reminds me of the fun we had with Rebecca, Ainsley, and Lindsey. They went down the slides and had their picture take with Santa. It was just the most fun! My goodness but it is nearly upon us again. The Children's Museum is just the most fun for the kids!!!

Picture Puzzle Day

Sunset, December 2008

Sunsets are glorious gifts from God. A time of day to reflect on the way you have progressed in this earthly journey. A time to see the challenges and gifts for what they are, an opportunity to grow in the love of God. The sunset becomes a beautiful cloak to be warn as we rest in the arms of our loving Father.

I do so love an Autumn Rose. By the end of summer they have sturdy stems and have a proud bearing. We prune them back and then next spring we start all over again. the cycle of life has such grace and beauty!
