HaPpY BirThDaY to me Party...

i awoke today to the blessing of
Birthday greetings from my kids!
even the 2 in Amsterdam ! WoW!
so they've begun the celebrations early!

are you able to join the Birthday party?
i think any opportunity to CeLeBraTE is a good one!


 so here's a bit of celebration i'd like to share
with you, my family and friends...
welcome honoured guests!


we have Janet's fabulous surprise Birthday cake
with her personally sugar crafted violets
topping her famous Victorian sponge cake..
~just because they're my faves!



God bless her for this GorGeouS gift!

time for choosing tea time settings..


i'm making this day a CeleBraTioN of many years of
God's GOODNESS and GRACE
~and no, i won't count the years :) !!



today is just to EnJoy..

my  life verse~"Adonai ELOHIM, the Holy One of Isra'el, says:
"Returning and resting is what will save you;
calmness and trusting confidence will make you strong ~"
Isaiah 30.15

"clothe yourself with your strength!
Dress in your splendid garments,...
shake off the dust! Arise!
sit in a dignified place...
loosen the chains on your neck, captive daughter...
for thus says ADONAI:
"You were sold for nothing,
and you will be redeemed without money."
Isaiah 52.1-3


"i am confident and unafraid;
for Yah ADONAI is my strength and my song,
and He has become my Salvation!"
Isaiah 12.2

... the time came when the risk it took
to remain tight in a bud was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin



Thanking God for a lifetime of LoVe
and thanking you
for Celebrating with me Today :) !!
may God's blessings be yours !

i invite you to leave
your fave verse or quote 
if you'd like
 as a blessing to all who celebrate
today!
THANK YOU
for partying with me!

  8. Happy Birthday Sharon! What a beautiful post you have shared for tea today! A lovely family you have too! The cake looks fabulous and your china is beautiful! You have several pieces of the Lavender Rose that I don't have. It truly is a lovely pattern, isn't it? Love the cupcakes in the teacups; gorgeous! I so enjoyed all the scripture verses you shared and here's a favourite of mine...

    "How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord." Psalms 144:15

    It is a pleasure to have you join me for tea. Have a beautiful day!

    Blessings,
    Sandi
