Sweet Sabbath

 
"Solitude shows us the way to let our behavior be shaped not by the compulsions of the world but by our new mind, the mind of Christ.  Silence prevents us from being suffocated by our wordy world and teaches us to speak the Word of God."  ~Henry Nouwen


 
We're enjoying a still and quiet Sabbath morning here after an early church service this morning.  Sarah prepared the dough for a Swedish Tea Ring last night, so we could enjoy a hassle free brunch this morning.  And the fun plates from a friend make our silence and solitude even more special as we each sneak away to listen to God's still small voice...

Sarah looks like such a young adult in that picture. Beautiful as always. The tea ring looks delicious. I love how it is a heart on the plate.
Love and blessings,

The tea ring looks wonderful! I love that quote...it seems that being quiet and listening is fast becoming a lost art.

Yes, Sarah looks so grown up! I love the new styles I've been seeing her wear this summer that are a bit different from the "little girl" clothes. What a helpful, sweet servant you have in her.

Love,
Liss

I agree with the previous comments. I think the tea ring is beautiful, but it pales in comparison to its maker. Such loveliness, both inside and out.
