Spiritual Sunday
I can remember my Mom having this basket on the kitchen table ever since I was a little girl. It is very fragile and delicate now, but I am sure it held rolls and goodies at one time.
Thank you for joining me today. I am also sharing my table with these lovely ladies -
All whom My Father gives (entrusts) to Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, no never, reject one of them who comes to Me]. John 6:37
Will Jesus welcome and receive all who come to Him in childlike faith, and turn you away? Never!
Will He forgive the sins of others who have trusted in His cleansing blood, but leave you condemned? Never!
Will He adopt into His family everyone who has been born of His Spirit, but leave you an orphan? Never!
Will He lead the lives of others who are following Him, but misguide you? Never!
Will He have fellowship with those who walk in His light, but shut you out? Never!
Will He intercede for those who look to Him as their High Priest, but fail to represent you? Never!
Will He comfort those who have sorrow, but keep from wiping your tears? Never!
Will His grace be sufficient for our weaknesses, but insufficient for yours? Never!
Will He extend His kindness to those who hope in His mercies, but leave you under a cloud of judgment? Never!
Will He fulfill the desires of those who fear Him, but leave you destitute? Never!
Will He love others with an everlasting love, but withhold His love from you? Never!
Will He take unto Himself all those who wait for His appearing, but leave you behind? Never!

My hubby greatly admired it, and made a comment about it. So when we came to close on the house, we were told that the owners had left us a gift. This clock! Wow we were so delighted. I am not sure of the maker, as we now have it on display on the bookcase in the living room. But we were told that it belonged to one of their grandmothers.
And low and behold when we came to the house after the closing, we not only found this clock, but TWO more!
All of the insides are falling down, so it has to be treated very tenderly. On the back is a sticker that says "Fred's Grandfathers clock". Fred was the owner, and he was about 70 years old. I do not see a makers mark and I did not want to open the little door.
My teacup today is called Royal Patrician.
Fine bone English china with very sweet delicate pansies.
Just had to take a solo picture of the saucer. It is so beautifully decorated.
And then there was this pretty cross stitched tablecloth, in perfect condition.
Things like these are getting harder and harder to find in our area.
oooo what fun!
Isn't it pretty? This is only the second quilt that I have ever bought, and they are both in perfect condition. And I might add that both times I made an offer and the owners accepted it!
Although we have been having some biting cold weather in Florida lately, I thought I would share this picture from New Year's Day 2011.
Yep it was a very balmy day on 1/1/2011. 
And if you look very closely, you will see the bottom layer has all the little desserts. But look a little closer. You can see that on the dessert layer are these dainty little demitasse cups. Do you know what was in these delicate little cups?
They were layered with cake, cut up strawberries and whipped topping. A Strawberry Shortcake ala Tea Room! So delicious, and so creative. Who would have thought to serve strawberry shortcake in these delicate little cups? So if you have any little cups just hanging around, even if the saucers are long gone, make up a batch of cake, add some sliced strawberries and top it off with whipping cream. You will be the hostess with the mostess by serving these little gems at your next tea party!
| When is it a good time to put our trust in the Lord? In Psalm 62:8 the Lord gives us the answer, “Trust in Him at all times.” Putting our trust in the Lord is not something we jump in and out of according to our difficulties or circumstances. Put your trust in the Lord when you are healthy and when you are ill; when you have a lot and when you have little; when things are going well and when things are going poorly; when you are settled and when you are in the midst of change; when you are getting a pay-check and when you are looking for a job; when you have understanding and when you don’t know what to do. Our trust in the Lord must never be seasonal or selective, optional or debatable, relative or arbitrary. Our trust in the Lord must be steadfast, constant, consistent, unwavering. We must completely trust in the One who is completely trustworthy. ~ Roy Lessin Linking up with Spiritual Sundays and Foto Finish. |
