My Favorite Things...

Autumn always turns my thoughts towards things I'm grateful for.  God has blessed me beyond measure with many blessings coming to mind, but today I share three ...
 
~ Family and the Joy of Grandchildren ~
 

I have a husband,  three children and their spouses, and eight  grandchildren who I love dearly.  

My daughter-in-law just recently gave me these photos of my three youngest grandchildren.  Elizabeth, who we call Ellie [3 months],  her older sister, Isabella [7 years], and brother, Landon [who will be 4 years old next month].  
 
 
Below is one of my grandchildren in the upper age bracket - Marissa, age seventeen, and a senior in high school.  This is one of her senior pictures that she had taken over the weekend.
 
 
~ Wonderful Friends ~
 
My doorbell rang yesterday afternoon with a beautiful floral delivery. What a thoughtful surprise from a very caring friend!
 
 
~ The Pleasures of Tea ~
 
God has given me so many things to enjoy, and tea is one of them [along with beautiful china!  ;-)] 
 
 
"Every good and perfect gift is from above...".

    You have beautiful grandchildren and you're so right about them being a blessing! Yesterday at our Thanksgiving dinner, one of those little blessings cuddled with me before dinner and he's about to turn nine! I loved it! Grandchilren are such wonderful blessings!
    Your posies look lovely on your tea tray and thank you for your sweet post. Wishing you a beautiful week.

  6. What a *beautiful* family you have, Phyllis! I love seeing the photos of them all. And I also love when others share gratefulness--reminds me to count my own blessings instead of complaining!
