A Gift



My Husband and I were out yesterday in the country to take pictures of a country home we are praying about buying. And one of our "potential" new neighbors gifted us with these.
They are just lovely and will be on our table this Thanksgiving.
I was reading a past issue of Country Living about 2 months ago and saw very similar ones in the magazine. I had a thought go through my head that they were just beautiful and would be part of my "Dream" Kitchen.
Ph'p:4:8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
I have a little scrapbook that I have made with lovely things. Things I find pretty , little pictures and recipes, scriptures, flowers my kids, grands or husband has given me and things maybe someday I would like to have. These tureens are in the scrapbook.
I thought to myself driving home yesterday. God is so intricately involved in my daily life that he knows the things that delight my heart, that brings me joy, that calms my spirit, that reassures me of His love, and His peace and presence in my life.
I am so thankful for my relationship with God through my Wonderful Saviour Jesus Christ my Lord.
