Isaiah 40:29 - 31 / Strength

²⁹ He gives strength to the weary
       and increases the power of the weak.

 ³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,
       and young men stumble and fall;

 ³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint.

My husband's Grandparents are celebrating their  68th Wedding Anniversary tomorrow we are looking forward to spending some time with them tomorrow.  This photo I took not to long ago, and the plate was a gift they gave us, it belonged to my husband's Grandfather's mother. The plate is from Norway and says "Give us this day our daily bread"

Colossians 3:12-13

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

The small and dante roses on this cup are sweet, it's just a lovely cup for tea.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Proverbs 25:11

My husbands Grandmother gave us this rolling-pin... she received this from her grandmother.. It is over 150 years old and truly a treasure to own. I would love to know all the many recipes it helped prepare.

The little napkin ring is from Norway and was given to my husband from his grandparents when he was born, his name is engraved on it as well as a little bear.

The teacup is part of the set we also received from my husbands gracious grandparents, they are darling and a blessing to us.
