From my window I saw light snow flurries today, and that's no joke! It was 35 degrees when my hubby and I went out for breakfast this morning, and it's 37 degrees now. I took the photos below last Sunday [just five days ago] on our way to church. It sure isn't feeling like spring right now, but it's not unusual weather for Michigan.
The May/June issue of Tea Time magazine arrived in today's mail. I'm looking forward to sitting down with it to see ideas and recipes for warmer weather, and I love all the beautiful pictures.
I never use my blog for political purposes so I'm stating in advance that what you're about to read is not politically motivated. Based on a recent conversation, I'd like to share a means of hope and encouragement during the troubling times in which we're living.
When my friends were here for lunch on March 22nd, one of the ladies commented how scary it is that one man - Vladimir Putin - can bring so much evil destruction and pain to so many innocent people and get away with it. Another friend replied that people are consumed by an ongoing cycle of fear. As I listened to the conversation, I was grateful for inner peace knowing God is sovereign and in control of ALL things. He's well aware of everything that's happening. It's all been prophesied and recorded in the Bible. For committed believers, we need not fear.
If Covid, violence and crime [mass shootings], war, unusual weather occurrances, or whatever, have you consumed with unending fear, Jesus said in Luke 21:28 "When all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up! For your salvation is near." He has a plan and signs point to His imminent return when sin and earthly strife will cease.
Here's two Biblically based books I've been reading that will bring peace, solace and clarity. And the best book of all is the Bible - our guide for every situation in life.
Tomorrow is a work day. April 16th is our Easter Bunny tea, so I decorated a glass to show my boss tomorrow for serving beverages to children [instead of adult teacups]. Hope he approves. It'll make more work for me, but it's all about the details.
Have a great weekend! The giveaway winner will be announced tomorrow. If you haven't left a comment yet there's still time to enter.
The mornings here still feel like winter (36 degrees today!) but the afternoons feel like spring. I'm ready for spring! And your glass decorated for Easter is adorable.
