Haiku My Heart

Though hidden by clouds
So amazing is our God
His grace is poured forth.

So we must say, "Yes"
Listen to his beckoning
Accept his summons.

Thanks be to God!!!

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!

Mosaic Monday

Turn trustingly to the Lord who is my God. Put your faith in 

him with all your heart, because nothing is impossible to him. 

 ~~Saint Patrick~~

The year in review is a grand time for me!  I can review the collages and reflect on all the wonderful times had during the year.  Also the times when disappointment and sadness have touched this house.  And now in this new year, 2012, I begin a new journey!!!

Thanks be to God!!!

Relax and Play Wednesday

Wednesday before Christmas.  Time to take a break and relax.  Take a few moments to be distracted from the pressures.  Get a hot cup of coffee/tea and for just a few minutes play here.  It'll do you a world of good.  And what you have left to come here is no doubt still be waiting for  your return.

It's time to relax

Oh my deer, you're beautiful

Such lovely brown eyes!

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Thanks be to God!

Mosaic Monday

When we give each other our Christmas presents in his name, let us remember that he has given us the sun and the moon and the stars, the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans and all that lives and moves upon them...And to save us from our own foolishness and from all our sins, he came down to earth and gave himself.  Venite adoremus Dominum.  ~~Sigrid Undset~~  

Wishing everyone a very Blessed Christmas.  I will have a busy week with family coming and going.  I'm not sure how much time I will be able to visit here!!!  Will make every effort to visit you at "HOME."

Thanks be to God!!!

The anticipation does not diminish with age.  The Glory of this season is infectious and of all the "germs" with which one should be infected I think the gloria-in-excelius strain should be passed on to everyone.  I'm just saying, "Imagine an epidemic of peace, love, joy, and goodwill to ALL!!!!!"

Thanks be to God!!!
