Tea Party

Yesterday I was invited to a 60th Birthday Tea Party.  My sister, Linda and had never been to this place before so of course we got lost.  We did arrive before the guest of honor though, thankfully.

We were able to have as many cups of tea as we could drink.  I stopped myself at 4, hoping I would be able to sleep that night.  We had a variety of choices of scones, soup, salad, and sandwiches.  Each course was served by friendly staff with time in between for conversation.  After singing "Happy Birthday" to our special guest we enjoyed cake and ice cream.  

Special times like these make me appreciate all that is good in my life:

  My friends,

  my sister, Linda,

my car that gets us to where we want to go,

tea and scones,

soup and sandwiches,

cake and ice cream!

I will be planning a Mother's Day Memory Tea for the ladies at the YMCA on May 4th and hosting our annual Mother Daughter Dinner at church on May 5th.  

I hope the women who attend these events will leave with the same feeling of thankfulness and joy that I experienced yesterday.

Father God, Lead, guide and direct me as I prepare activities that would be pleasing to You and memorable to my friends and family.

In Jesus name, Amen.
