Joy Dare- June 23

3 gifts around the Table:
 
  1. Ladybug placemats-  I have collected ladybug things for years and the placemats have been precious.  Right now, the symbolize my family of 2.  Where we sit, where we fellowship and where we can dine.
  2. Ladybug candles-  Why do we buy pretty things and never use them?  This week I began using those pretty things.  Candles make my life brighter so as we sit, fellowship and dine, we burn a beautiful ladybug candle.
  3. Fellowship- that is most precious... When we can get out from technology- esp the tv- and share a meal or a cup of coffee.  It is priceless.  I don't have many of these years left.  I want to treasure each one.
My Patio Table: 
That is where I meet Jesus every morning.  There is a cartoon strip that is popular called "Coffee with Jesus".  This is my coffee with Jesus time.  Once again, I light a lantern, read scripture and just enjoy the beauty that is my back yard.  There are no distractions out here until I bring my computer out to blog.  I can hear God beckoning me from the moment I wake up.  When I get outside I hear the rustling of creatures in the woods and birds in the trees and I know He is present with me.  This helps on the dark days.  Sometimes there are no words spoken other than through tears.  Sometimes there are shouts of joy but either way, He is here.
