It’s That time Of Year

~ Christmas, Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

Happy Monday sweet friends. Christmas is fast approaching and I still have much to do. How about you? I am putting some finishing touches on Sunshine Cottage in hopes that I can share on Thursday. There is still shopping to be done and goodies to be baked. I will be baking fruitcakes this week for my precious Daddy, sister-in-love, and myself. We are the only three people that I know that love fruitcake!! Christmas wouldn’t seem like Christmas without Pam’s fruitcake, says my very wise Daddy!

“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!””
‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:31‬ ‭‬‬

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends. It is an exciting one…we all have a centerpiece giveaway! Be sure to waltz on over to the end of this post to see how to enter, after all…it’s that time of year!

I enjoy keeping a table set during the holidays. Changing it often, guarantees I can see all of the Christmas dishware that I have collected through the years.

Setting this Christmas table was a delight. It has been a most unusual and difficult year for all of us, but Christmas fills me with child-like wonder!

Coffee Table Fall Flowers

Happy November sweet friends. I can’t believe I have already said goodbye to my favorite month. I used to wonder why older people were always saying the year was passing so quickly, now I understand.

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:3-4‬

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley. You will find the links for their beautiful floral creations at the bottom of this post.

“In November, the trees are standing all sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are, spreading their arms like dancers. They know it is time to be still.”
-Cynthia Rylant
