Just this morning

..... I was thinking about you, dear friend.

As I sat outside, enjoying the early morning breeze and taking in the beauty of the day.



So I laid out a place setting, just for you.




  I'd love to share some fellowship time with you.



I love to sit on the back porch and listen to the water flowing in the pond........

and from the fountain.


So this morning, I invite you to share with me this little bit of beauty


 ...... and enjoy the God who is sovereign over all.

Hi Jocelyn, Your breakfast table is really pretty. The teapot and your cup and saucer are lovely and so feminine. The lemon and banana breads look great too. How nice to sit by the pond and have breakfast!
