Sweet Violets and Emeralds

Did I ever tell you how much I like violets and pretty china?

Or how well emeralds match my eyes?

Or how blessed I am to have a family that treats me like royalty?

It's all true, my dears!

I received such beautiful gifts from my lovely menfolk on Mother's Day, and my heart is so grateful for their thoughtfulness and consideration.

Yes indeed..I am truly a very blessed lady!

And as I sit here wearing emeralds and sipping from my pretty voilet covered teacup..

enjoying the fruits of my family's love for me..

I pray that your cup also, is running over with joy today.. and the sweet assurance of God's grace and tender love for you!

It's time to join my friend Gae for her homeloving meme at Cherished Hearts At Home

But I have to say,  my head is a bit slow in getting round to planning homemaking goals for this week's Hearts for Home.

It seems to want to linger on the loveliness of Sunday for a while longer...

Still..the garden is calling my name and this week hubby and I are well into digging a new veggie patch.

So there is where my focus will be for next few days :-).

blessings..Trish

I am also linking up to Sandi for her lovely Mother's Day Tea at  Rose Chintz Cottage

And enjoying the pretty things at Martha's Favourites

Happy Mother's day ~Mum

In All Honor

Every man, for the sake of the great blessed Mother in Heaven, and for the love of his own little mother on earth, should handle all womankind gently, and hold them in all Honor.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

"Once in crossing a meadow I came to a spot that was filled with fragrance. Yet I could see no flowers, and I wondered whence the fragrance came. At last I found, low down, close to the ground, hidden by the tall grass, innumerable little flowers. It was from these that the fragrance came."
JR Miller

              Like shy violets scenting the shade.. 
The sweetest love grows humbly in a gentle mother's soul..

Love and blessings for a very Happy Mother's Day, to my beautiful Mum!!
