Calling all Teatimers-It's time for tea

Today were having Licorice herbal tea with Ruth .

Stash is a new company to me.My first time trying it.The quality was fantastic,if you like licorice and sweet herbal teas, then this is for you.


Ruth Bell Graham is one of my all time favorite poets above most others.Not only that, but I also think she was an amazing woman.

Nothing special today,very simple.

The vail is taken away-Today is God's Sunday

As Christians we can see clearly.
 Non Christians have a veil of misunderstanding, it can only be removed by believing in Christ.         see  2 Corinthians3: 14-17

2 Corinth.3:18 " But we as Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord......"

1 Corinth.2:10   " But we know about these things because God has sent His Spirit to tell us, and His Spirit searches out and shows us all God's deepest secrets." Living Bible

Art scrapbooks from long ago










My secret I've kept all to myself.Through many years this was my hobby,I called it My art therapy.I have notebooks full of it.It evolved through the years to what I called Art journaling or art scrapbooking.I don't do it any more mainly because I had too much of it to store.I also knit, crochet and now My husband and I paint.We have been taking classes for a couple of years together.Our new date nights that took over from B&N date nights.
One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
