Thank you Sandi for being our hostess! I have a link at the bottom of the post to return you to her blog so you will be able to visit everyone.During the past year I've discovered how many treasures I have that are in my home because blogging has made me look at things again and again! I realize how fortunate I am to have so many reminders of my family.
All of the cups and saucers today were my paternal grandmother's and are smaller ones, reminding me of demitasse cups.
I've often wished I had some chintz dishes, and never once thought about these two sets (below).
However, they were made in Occupied Japan.
As I think about how I've taken things for granted, I never want to let that happen with my faith. This past year has been the most difficult one of my life, but God has remained faithful to me. The eternal God is thy refuge... . Deuteronomy 33:27aPlease visit Sandi's Tea Time Tuesday at Rose Chintz Cottage.

Hi Marilyn,
I just happened to check my dashboard and found your post for Tea Time! I am so happy you have joined me this week! I love your grandmother's sweet teacups! I especially like the chintz ones! I have a passion for chintz, it seems.
I'm sorry you have had a a difficult year! I've had some doozies myself but like you, I have leaned on the Lord to give me strength to get through them. Thank you for sharing the scripture verse! He is indeed our Refuge and strength in times of trouble. I will add your link to my post and I wish you a lovely week.
Blessings,
Sandi
Very nice cups and saucers for tea.
I absolutely love your beautiful teacups. The smaller ones are so pretty aren't they? You are so lucky to have them.
Best wishes for a lovely day,
Natasha.
Your comment on this being the most difficult time you have experienced rang so true in my own life. We have faced fierce storms for 20 months now...it has been VERY difficult...

amen amen amen dear sister..Thank you for covering my spirit with this. I NEEDED this today.
I am so sorry you have had a difficult year and I pray that things get better for you.
What lovely things you have shared with us today, both in pics and in words!
I too never realized how much I have and how much I should be grateful for until I started to blog!

So glad you joined us for tea. Lovely tea cups full of memories! Yes, I too can say that blogging has made me look differently at all the lovely things I have.
I also know about rough years we have had 3 very tough years. God has been showing me that when I am weak, HE will make me strong..stay strong in Him!
Blessings..Lorena
