A Little Garden Therapy

~ Gardening

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:2‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends, I am so glad you are here. Spring is still a couple of months away, and even though I love all four seasons, I thought a little garden therapy would be a welcomed change!  Let’s take a dip into my archives for a few gardening posts today!  But first, a fun little thing that happened this week…
   I always look forward to Southern Lady in my mailbox. It is a favorite publication of mine as are all the Hoffman Media Publications. You can imagine my surprise when my sweet friend Bonnie at Living With Thanksgiving sent me a text…

 …”Everyday Living is on page 13.”
I couldn’t get to my mailbox fast enough. See our garden in the bottom right-hand corner!!! I know it is only a small photo from my Instagram, but that didn’t lessen my excitement!READ MORE

Tablescape Tuesday: XOXO

  “…but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday sweet friends!  Can you believe that Valentine’s Day is a couple of weeks away?  I feel like we just celebrated the new year!  I have always loved Valentines Day…I love the romance and love that the 14th day of February brings out in all of us.  And it’s not just a holiday set aside for you and your significant other, but it can be a lovely day for you and your girlfriends, spending time with a widow, or anyone who could be lonely this time of year!  

On Saturday, Butch ran a few errands and brought home a dozen roses, just because! He got these particular roses because of their unique color…an orange-red .  When I saw them, I knew they would make their way to a tablescape and the idea popped into my mind…”a Paris theme”! Because after all, it is one of my favorite cities, and it’s the time of year for those X’s and O’s!  Pull up a chair and join us!

Butch and I have been to Paris twice…once in 2003 and again in 2006.  I took this picture of the Eiffel Tower while on a dinner cruise on the Seine.  The meal was fabulous and the scenery was the absolute best!  Strolling violinists stopped by our table to serenade us, isn’t that romantic?!READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 169

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Outdoors, Simple + Southern Sunday, Travel, Winter

” Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love… 

   In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.  In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins…

  Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
I John 4: 7-11READ MORE
