~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Outdoors, Tablescape Tuesday

“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:12‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday lovely friends. With autumn a couple of weeks away, I thought it would be fun to share five of my most favorite fall tablescapes. Late September through October are perfect times to share a meal outside…in the garden, on the patio, or at the picnic table. I will keep my talking to a minimum, but I hope you enjoy a look back over these tables. You can see the original post by clicking on the highlighted words.

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 253

“And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-39‬ ‭

A typical summer sunrise at our house this past week. It has been hot but sunny and peaceful for quite a few days now. Normal for early September. 

 
The first sunrise after Hurricane Dorian departed Man-O-War Cay, Abaco, Bahamas. Beautiful but things are far from normal. This photo was taken by dear friends of ours, Buddy and Kerri Mullins, who were doing mission work with New Life Bible Church when Dorian made a direct hit. We are grateful they are safe and are now stateside. Buddy and Kerri serve with Hope For The World Foundation, a wonderful organization that ministers and supports missionaries in many parts of the world. I (Butch) had the privilege of being a part of the Hope For The World Board for a time.READ MORE

Autumn, My Favorite Season

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:3‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends! An update from Monday’s post: our friends who were doing mission work on Man O War Cay, Abaco Islands are safe with water, food, and a dry place to sleep. But the utter devastation is everywhere and so heart-wrenching. They have no idea when they will be able to fly home. I hope you will join me in praying for the Bahamian people and everyone impacted by Dorian.

Are you savoring the last days of summer or longing for autumn? I am looking forward to cooler temperatures with a little nip in the air! Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me for autumn therapy, it is my favorite season!
