I'm so glad you came back for Tuesday's virtual cup of coffee...
I bought the ingredients for a strawberry cake that I hoped to have made for us to enjoy today but I'm not quite back to myself yet...
I did manage to go outside and cut the first of my roses for our table. They are perfect to join in with Noelle for her monthly garden bouquet. Aren't they beautiful? Now I know spring is really here.
I've had to scale back Easter day plans this year but the grand-babies will still be by for their Easter baskets and weather permitting an Easter egg hunt.
As I sit hear listening to the news in the background, with wars, weather, and natural disasters raging, Easter egg baskets and hunts seem a silly subject of conversation for us this morning.
Actually I think it just might be the perfect time...not only for the sweetness of an innocent childhood ritual like the Easter bunny but more importantly for the hope and promise of the resurrection and the eternal glory of a Savior sent to offer an eternity without the strife and heartache of this world.
"He gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds." Titus 2:14
It's been a while since the Easter bunny made an appearance at our house and I am so excited about his arrival!
Excuse me while I go heat my coffee...can I get you anything while I'm up?
Patty
I would love to come drink coffee with you, using your beautiful cups and enjoying the roses. More than that, enjoying sharing what the Lord has done in our lives!
Beautiful photos!

Hello Patty,
I love your rose bouquet. I like different colored roses grouped together.
I pray that you will have a wonderful Easter, celebrating our Saviour's resurrection.
