Tea On Thursday
Today I'm greeting you at the door holding a white Royal Canadian Tartan Vancouver B. C. cup and saucer by Crown Prince BONE CHINA ENGLAND, saying HELLO TO YOU! The gold handle and base add a fine touch. Though I haven't visited Canada, I bought this set at my favorite THRIFT SHOPPE because my Father was born in Canada close to 83 years ago. The stories he could tell you from a time gone by is what songs are sung about and books written. 
Beloved, it's a really light weight china cup. Wish you could actually feel the lack of weight while holding this cup. When I hold the empty cup to the light, it's translucent. Take your hand and pretend you're holding a tea cup. Don't feel much weight? That's just about how light this bone china cup is. So delicate. Can we be like this light weight tea cup when we give our burdens to the LORD?When held up to the light, will light shine through us to where we are translucent and others can see a light shining through? Lord, please help me...I had trouble this week relaxing. What would you like to talk about today? Do you have any thing heavy on your heart/mind? Want to hear a light hearted joke? Knock, knock... Before anymore time passes, what type of tea would you like to drink? I think I had better go with a caffeine-free one this week. Can't handle the C8 H10 N4 O2 today. Oh, that German Chemist F.F. Runge knew what he was talking about when he discovered this crystalline alkaloid, a stimulant to the heart and central nervous system called caffeine.Do you have a suggestion? What's that you have in your pocket? This is so nice of you to share your caffeine-free tea with me."Cookie?"May your burdens be light and your cares far away...Blessings ,~Deanna~

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

to number OUR days,

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna

Happy "Tea on Thursday" day. This week I am sharing lemons on Delights of the Heart, so I will bring Lemon Verbena cookies. They are very light and perfect with a cup of tea. Caffeine free, hummm? Maybe a cup of Calm from Tazo Tea would do the trick.
Marmie,
I would love some "refresh" tea by Tazo. Do you have any of that in the cabinet, wait I'll check when I get home ;O)
PS Thank you for taking the time to teach me to stand up for TRUTH when others would rather bully with lies.
A cookie with black tea, please!
TY you are a gracious hostess.
TTFN ~Marydon
Marilyn- this sounds like a winner, lemon verbena.
Tazo Tea it is.
Beauty- Tazo Tea it is. Show me where it is.
Marydon- I have some black tea for you and we will eat some of Marilyn's lemon verbena cookies. Sounds great.
TO ALL- Thank you for stopping by...I missed you and want to visit.
HI Deanna,
I love the tazo berry tea, so refreshing and good, love the little tartan teacup, it is so elegant and classic, I wish you a nice relaxing day today and all week-end long!!
Enjoy
love,
jamie
Deanna,
What a lovely cup. I love the plaid. The lemon verbena cookies sound like a lovely summer treat. Perhaps a nice rasberry tea would be a good compliment.
Thanks for stopping by Blessings earlier today.
God Bless!
Dd,
I'm not sure everyone knows why bone china is so light and thin (making it translucent), but it comes from the fact that animal bone is ground very fine and added to the porcelain to strengthen it. This allows the potter to create very thin and lightweight pieces that resist warping when fired.
This process was first used in China (the country), where very white porcelain was developed, hence the term "bone china".
Enjoyed the post.

I came to you by way of A gathering of thoughts. What a lovely post. I was just bubbling some water for my own tea today in a cup that is special to me. My cup was also light in weight and given by a friend. My tea of choice is lemon today. Thank you for having me.
very sweet analogy... fill my cup Lord, with your light and joyful heart. A cup of "white" tea is my pick, so light and clean, to go with the cup, how about a cranberry scone for a touch of sweetness (can't help it,they are so good)anyone want the recipe?
Robin- I'd love your recipe! So glad you've come for a visit.
Stitch- So glad you came for a visit.
Mimi- Berry Tea, I've got to try this!
Artist- That's interesting...I've heard of this before and I thank you for sharing.
Karinann- Ohh, that sounds great and refreshing. Ahhhhhh.
Hey you all, I feel so much better. I enjoyed visiting with you. ~D~
A cup of tea in that cup, with a biscuit would be lovely.
Such a neat cup.
Hugs
Carolyn
