My favorite Carolers

JOY to the World! the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart, prepare Him room,

And heav'n and nature sing, And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.

JOY to the earth! the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ,

While fields and floods,rocks, hills and plains


Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

HE rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love.

Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever just sit by the tree and take in the beauty of the season?


After everyone has gone to bed, do you fill a plate with some sweet goodness, make a hot cup of tea and just enjoy the quietness of the evening?


Do you sometimes wonder what the Shepherds thought on that night, so many years ago, when the Angelic host proclaimed the birth of Jesus?

What an awe filled experience that must have been.

And for now, I will turn the lights down low, and pretend the twinkling of the Christmas tree are the stars of the Universe proclaiming the birth of our Savior, Christ the Lord.

                                Merry Christmas!

The Beauty of the Earth



Living in the deep south, we never see snow. A few years ago our family experienced the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. It always overwhelms me how the beauty of God's earth declares His holiness.


"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!"

Isaiah 6:3

Festive table

I love my red china.  It makes for a festive table any time of the year. But with the Christmas season upon us, isn't it fun to dress your table for the festivities?








Come, sit a spell, and enjoy a cup of tea with me.

There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.  ~Henry James

Holiday Tables

Sharing some pretty holiday tables.










Do you dress your tables for the holidays? I find this is one of the easiest ways to decorate for the seasons. Enjoy the beauty of the season.
