Some days you just want to stay curled up indoors
and indulge yourself with steaming hot chocolate and something sweet.
Days when your vegetable seedlings are sent sleeping under the downy quilt of sudden snow
and your clothesline has surrendered to the gales of a fierce winter wind.
Yes, on those kind of days you need some sweetness to soothe the mind
and help you to remember that one season quickly passes on to another
and soon enough, you will be taking tea again under the summer shade of a heady lilac hedge.

Let nothing trouble you.
Let nothing frighten you.
For everything passes but God will never change.
Patient endurance will obtain everything
Whoever has God, wants for nothing at all.

My Hearts for Home goal this week is to help the Woodman repair my clothesline, and to look for the chocolate-coated side of every circumstance that comes my way!!

How cozy and that cherry bar looks so yummy.

Good morning Trish,
ReplyDeleteIt's always a pleasure to come and visit with you. I love your pretty cup adorned with florals and the gift you have of regaling us all with your words. Thanks for sharing another lovely post with Tea Time. Have a lovely day, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi

Seasons change but God does not. Seasons are a gift. If it were always summer we wouldn't know the quiet rest of winter. If it were always winter we wouldn't know the exhilaration of work that brings the harvest. And through it all we need the continuity of a God that doesn't change... beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Debbie
Trish,
ReplyDeleteTee hee. I had to smile when you mentioned that some days, you need something warm and sweet to get you through the day. Oh, I know how that goes all too well.
I really enjoyed this post. It was a pleasure to read. :)
