Around Our Sunday Table - Lovely Poinsettias


Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.
~George Herbert~


It is hard to believe that here we are at First Advent.
Where did the year go?
As we gather around our Sunday table
it is time for us to stop and reflect
on the many things we have to be thankful for.


That this cold that hit me came when it did -
on a set of 5 days off work,
allowing me to actually rest.


That my hubby is always willing to help with the little things,
making sure the humidifier is always full,
hauling full laundry baskets up and down the stairs,
even making supper if he has too :)


The job the Lord has provided.
It was so unexpected and not in my field
but is true blessing in so many ways.


Being able to Facetime with my daughter.


Visiting with our son who always keeps
the conversation interesting.


Our wonderful new church family.


What are you thankful for today?

Another week has flown by
and as we gather around our Sunday table
it is time for us to stop and reflect
on the many things we have to be thankful for this week.

 
This week I was able to spend some quality time with my son.
It is harder now that he is grown
which makes the time all that much more special

 
I am thankful for my in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration.
It was great to visit with extended family
but also to celebrate 50 years of marriage.
What a heritage they are passing down to their family.

 
I had a wonderful Skype time with my daughter this week,
catching up on all the news.

 
I am thankful for the good weather we have had this past week
which allowed us to finish the outside Christmas décor.

 
I am thankful for the Christmas lights on display as I drive around our neighborhood.
They bring me such joy!

 
What are you thankful for this week?

Another snow storm and once again family members travelling.
I am thankful once again for safe travel.
 

A hubby who notices and takes care of the little things.
He noticed that outside back door wasn't sealing 100%
and got busy and fixed it right away.
 
 
 
I am thankful for quiet days working around the home.

 

I am thankful we were able to find a trustworthy mechanic
that our daughter could take her car to.
 

 
I am thankful that the mechanic was able to find the problem
and fix it and that the bill wasn't too high.

 
I am thankful hubby was called in to work.
The unexpected overtime pay will cover the car repair cost.
God provided before we even knew our need.

 
 What are you thankful for this week?

Tulip Brights

 
I usually enjoy winter
but this year it seems to be
extra long and dreary.
 
 
With snow every few days it feels like spring will never come.
 
 
But even if there aren't any signs of spring outside,
that doesn't mean I can't make it spring inside!
 
 
This spring I seem drawn to the bright, bold colors
of red, orange and yellow.
 
 
They are such a nice contrast against the grey skies outside.
 
 
I used orange chargers and my red plates with white accents.
I just love how the inside of the bowl is red while the outside is white.
Yellow and orange napkins overflow from the spring glass.
 
 
It's a perfect table to brighten my day!

Outdoor Dining


Our weather has finally been nice enough to enjoy some outoor dining.


I picked some flowers from the garden
and used the tealight holder as a flowervase.


I found these plates on clearance for $4.00 for the set.


I put the plates on these rust colored chargers.


I added the orange napkins which complemented the flowers.


And we had a simple outdoor table to enjoy.
