Tuesday Treasures....

 I am loving my morning 'rituals' or routines.....

I normally get up before Louis Dean and I use the hour or two of alone time to sip my coffee and walk out in the gardens to see what's booming. My Quiet Time with the Lord includes prayers and praise - for all His blessings and the gifts of nature he gives us as well the comfort of reading in His Word. The 'green' of spring is amazing and every day - something else is blooming in the gardens. I treasure these moments. They give me strength for the day ahead - being to Louis Dean the best wife I can be and trying to live my life as closely to the Lord as possible. I fail so often and yet He is faithful to give me the where with all to keep on keeping on.

I gather a morning bouquet each day and sometimes it's simply ground cover or bush branches.

Today was daffodils, roses of several varieties, mint and other blooms.

I place my bouquets and light my candle before proceeding with my reading and prayers.

Louis Dean slept much later than I did and I was ready to meet Brenda on our Tuesday Treasure day when he woke up!

I left him to his own devices - since it's fairly safe to do this at this point in time.

I go where I can whenever I can while realizing that will not be possible at some point.

You find joy where and when you find it and when I can't go alone - I'll simply take Louis Dean with me!  

Brenda and I both admired this pretty wreath but I bought it!

The French canvas is now on my hall wall.

Brenda found this Chico Travelers set for me.....

AND this super cute Chico's top!

I'm a sucker for Chico's!

I loved the fabric of this tablecloth......

And I'm always a sucker for signage!

And candles!!

Sweet honey treasures.....

These glass storage containers were a good bargain!

That's all Amber uses now and we admit how much healthier they are in reheating things!

This saying is now hanging in the hall.....

and it is so true.....

Never underestimate the Power of Gratitude!
