Tea With Friends {One Beautiful Thing}

by Jacque Watkins

I’m so thrilled to be linking with my friend Brooke over at her place today, to share in her community there and join them in their search every week for one beautiful thing…

We met at a lovely old farmhouse, with quaint decorations, antiques all around, and enough charm for every heart.

And there were scones and jam and lemon curd and cream.

Soup and sandwiches and fruit bright and fresh.

Lemon bars and cupcakes,

And quiche with pots of tea.

And the teacups sat in beauty just waiting to be full.

But most of all there were my friends gathered there, laughing and talking and giving thanks for it all … One Beautiful Thing.

Psalm 27:4 (NASB)
One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold  the beauty of the Lord…
 

May you notice wonder this weekend, and experience the joy of beautiful things.

 

 

What one beautiful thing did you experience this week?

    I don’t know what that is on your plate, but it looks delicious. I wish we had a “tea house” here in my area. Looks like a ton of fun!
