Today I was reading in Hebrews ... how very loving, great and mercyful is our God 

Hebrews 4:16

New Living Translation (NLT)

 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Go and do likewise

This parable is one of my favorits from the word... to love as Christ to all and in all things.

Luke 10:25-37

New International Version (NIV)

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

²⁵ On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

²⁶ “What is written in the Law?”       he replied.  “How do you read it?”

²⁷ He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’^[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’^[b]”

²⁸ “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

²⁹ But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

³⁰ In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. ³¹ A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.³² So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. ³³ But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. ³⁴ He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. ³⁵ The next day he took out two denarii^[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

³⁶ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

³⁷ The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

A whole new world has opened up for me... lol.  I LOVE Honey in my tea

Cast Iron Kettle Warmer and Trivet

We were in World Market today and found this cast iron kettle warmer. The lid may also be used as a trivet

Also found this sweet bird teapot and tea cup

Verse for today :)

Genesis 1:20-23

The Message (MSG)

God spoke: “Swarm, Ocean, with fish and all sea life!

        Birds, fly through the sky over Earth!”

    God created the huge whales,

        all the swarm of life in the waters,

    And every kind and species of flying birds.

        God saw that it was good.

    God blessed them: “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Ocean!

        Birds, reproduce on Earth!”

    It was evening, it was morning—

    Day Five.

Cast Iron Teapots

 Cast Iron Teapots are lovely to make tea in, I am told if you make a flavored tea in a cast iron teapot it is best to always use the same pot for that flavor, each time you use the teapot it becomes more and more seasoned.





I found these cast iron teapots in a Japanese china shop, they were lovely but heavy as all get out. :)   I am looking to put one on my Christmas wish list. 





 

These individual teapots and tea mugs come with the there own strainer so you can brew your tea (teabag or tealeaves) in the pot or mug then you just remove the strainer and enjoy your tea. My husband loves the color red so we picked up the red mug for him.

My sister Loves purple so I took this photo just for her :)

One of my favorite passages in the word is this one.. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

New International Version (NIV)

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Buckingham Palace

This is a paiting of Buckingham Palace that I found in the Tea shop in Epcot at WDW.
The paiting below is the Balmoral Palace 
so beautiful!!
 

 These teapot's remind me of my Grandmothers garden flowers in Canada. The teapots were sitting so pretty in the tea shop with the frosted window's in the background

The Rooibos Tea is one of my friends favorites :)

I loved this sweet tea towel, definitely a conversation piece.

Psalm 37:4-5

Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;

    trust in him, and he will act.

Yankee Candle and Shortbread Shorts

I purchased this Crackling Cinnamon Scone Candle this past weekend and it is devine 

Yummy shortbread cookies with Earl Grey Creme Tea 

Proverbs 3:3

Living Bible (TLB)

 Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these virtues tightly. Write them deep within your heart.

1 Corinthians 16:14

English Standard Version (ESV)

 Let all that you do be done in love.

Tea Jewels

This teapot has jewels set in it that capture the light, it has a rosebud lid and vine handle

Luke 6:38

The Message (MSG)

^37-38 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.”

Beauty and the Beast Tea Mugs

Beauty and the Beast Tea Mugs I found while in New Fantasy Land at WDW. 
They were lovely displayed.. my camera does not do them justice. I am working on getting a better camera  :) 

I did purchased these sweet plates, they are Pretty, Pretty

1 Peter 3:4

New Living Translation (NLT)

 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
