I am beyond ready for a cup of tea. I decided that I needed a long break from baby sitting and time to slow way down before I rush around cleaning the house. Company's coming.
Please visit with me and tell me where you got those cute shoes you have on?
Our Tea Time will be with J. and G. MEAKIN ENGLAND Classic White dishes with gold high lights. Once again shopping at my favorite THRIFT STORE was a bargain shoppers delight.
Thank you for joining me. I needed a friend to talk to. These lovely spoons will come in handy as we stir our EARL GREY LAVENDER TEA. My husband spotted these spoons at the THRIFT SHOP and I said, "Yes, please." 
I'll just place this on a tray and we can find a nice place to sit and chat.
Would you like some background music? There's Classical, Enya, Southern Gospel, Big Band, Blue Grass. Which would you prefer? None would be fine. I don't want to forget the cookies...this is a new recipe my daughter came up with. Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter. They're really good and they won't stunt your growth.
Yesterday I mentioned sharing our favorite scripture verse. I can't do this. I don't have one that's my favorite, so I'll shy away from that and share my favorite Biblical Book. Right now I'm really fond of Psalms, no I take that back. I really favor Proverbs. Yes, I really like Proverbs, but I'm leaning toward the Book of John. Wait, when I studied the Book of Ruth it spoke to me.
Have you read the Book of Hezikiah? What do you mean there isn't one?
Hands down, it's the Book of Genesis. Yes, that's it...In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. I also like the Book of Acts. I'm sorry, I like so much of the Bible that I will simply say, "My favorite book is the Holy Bible." I'd better have some more tea. I'm very thirsty.
Thank you for sharing this time with me. You've been so sweet to listen to me.

John 3:37 and 38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

YES! I have always been amazed that people can find and cherish one particular verse or book of the Bible! His Word seems to take me hither and yon in the pages of the Bible. One season it IS Genesis, then Job, then Ephesians...but as you say, I love the whole book, the whole package. And I believe His Spirit takes us where we need to go for Him!
There is nothing as soothing as a cup of tea -- love your dishes and what pretty spoons.
My favorite chapter is Psalms 116 and there's another Psalm verse God always...but always...has used when He wants me to MOVE.
Oh what beautiful china and I'm barefoot -smile- but then, I'm late heading to the barn this morning.
Thank you for the tea and yummy cookies-love your china and the time together was wonderful too!

What a lovely post. TY for sharing. TTFN ~Marydon
I feel so comfortable and homey when I read your posts - it's like you really are there, talking to us all through them! What a sweet restful blog this is to come visit.
Those spoons are just lovely! You must have some wonderful thrift stores in your area!
It is hard for me to pick a favorite Bible verse too, although I have always been partial to Isaiah 41:10 - it's been a constant comfort to me throughout my entire life. I remember learning it and reciting it at my mothers knee when I was almost too small to speak. Thank God for a wonderful, spiritually minded mother!
Lavender Earl Grey sounds scrumptious. Earl Grey is David and I's favorite tea of all time.
Lovely! Beautiful spoons, beautiful dishes, and beautiful thoughts on God's word. Thank you!
Hi Deanna, love all your wonderful tea things. Beautiful!!
Blessings,

Deanna,
Good afternoon and thank you for having me over for tea. Some Bach or Mozart would be lovely to listen to:). The cookies are delicious and the tea divine. I must say that I do love all of the books in the Bible but for now I am thoroughly enjoying the book of Proverbs as I have been studying it for several months now. Hopefully I will gain some wisdom from it!
Blessings and thanks for the tea!

My favorite verse as well as my life verse is Jeremiah 29:11-12. Whenever I begin to have doubts about certain things, God always brings that verse back into my heart. Especially now with my husband being unemployed I am holing on to that verse with all my heart because I know that God has plans to prosper us and not to harm us.
Thanks for the comments on my blog today, and thanks for the tea and the visit sweet friend,...oh, and I had to skip the chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. I am allergic to peanuts and sensitive to chocolate. But the fellowship was sweet,...and the tea cups and service were pretty!!! I love the Bible too dear friend.
Have a great remainder of the day!
Love, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
Being raised Roman Catholic we were not encouraged to read and study bible verses. Our liturgies of the Mass go through the entire Bible during what is called The Liturgical Year. So I know where the stories are. I have been listening to them for 71 years now. Grant you for the first 5 or 6 years, even though I went to Mass every Sunday even as an infant, I didn't realize what I was hearing. I don't know which is best. I feel no different in my love of scripture than I hear you speak. What ever feeds your soul and brings you closer to a real relationship with Him is the answer. Blessings

Oh, I need to snap my shoes, except today my shoes are pink slippers!!!! I'm back trying to do all that laundry from our trip!!!
Deanna, you must really be a lovely hostess when you have guests in "real life," as you make everyone who passes by your blog feel welcome :)
My two favorite bits of scripture are
Hebrews 12:2, which tells us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, as he is the author and perfecter of our faith. My other favorite is Psalm 51:10, which is praying to the Lord to create in me a clean heart. They are just both so beautiful and applicable to my life right now.
Have a lovely day---I am praying for your son!
Always a respite from the world..I enjoyed that perfect moment!
Your blog is lovely. I have enjoyed reading through your posts. You have a sweet spirit to your blog, I can only imagine what it would be like being around you.
