“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
Ephesians 5:1-2
Hello dear friends, I hope you had a most enjoyable weekend. Mine was a little toasty with 100 degree temperatures in our Appalachian Foothills! Aren’t we thankful for air conditioning?
It is the third Monday of the month which means Monday Morning Blooms with my inspiring and flower loving friends. Our most talented leader, Shirley is not with us today. Her schedule is hectic and she is busy with decision making for her new home. She is an amazing talent, so we are all eagerly awaiting for her house to be completed and to take the grand tour. Shirley will be back soon to share her floral love with us.
