“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:12‬ ‭

 
 

Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of year! In my first Christmas post of the holiday season, I am excited that the Ladies of Monday Morning Blooms are collaborating with Crown Linen Designs and Arte Italica to offer you a chance to win a fabulous giveaway. You will find all the details of how to enter at the bottom of this post. I suggest you pour yourself a cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or whatever warms you up and gets you going. Most of all, I pray that we will allow the Hope and Joy that is the reason for the season to warm our hearts!

 

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

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

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

The Garden Flowers Farewell

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

Hello sweet friends! We have had seven straight days of the most gorgeous autumn weather…cool nights…warm days…bright blue skies…amazing sunshine!

“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭

It is a special day because it is Monday Morning Blooms with my dear blogging friends! With the weather so beautiful, it was a must to set a table in the garden, I just couldn’t bear being inside.

“…I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. So I have spent almost all the daylight hours in the open air.”
-Nathaniel Hawthorne

The last (I think) of my garden flowers were used for this arrangement!
