THANKSGIVING A TIME TO REMEMBER for "Friends Sharing Tea"

I recently purchased a used book which
I found to be lovely and also refreshing.
It is by Barbara Rainey:


This book was written about 15 years ago
and shares the story of the first Thanksgiving
here in America.

 Did you know that "After 65 days at sea from Plymouth, the Pilgrims caught a glimpse of their destination, the new land where God would be worshiped freely and - in time- where freedom would flourish.  Shouting for joy and falling to their knees to pray, they celebrated by reading Psalm 110!"


Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.  Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.  Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.....



I will certainly be celebrating
 Thanksgiving with
a cup of delicious tea:


I will celebrate with these 
publications
that I recently won in a Victoria
Magazine drawing:


I recently had some new friends over
for lunch and Norma gave me this
Shelley Creamer.  I am thankful
for friends - both former and new.


What will you be thankful for this
Thanksgiving?  I hope you can join me
today for my Tea Blog Party below.
I will be sharing at:

  4. Bernideen, I love your new Shelley creamer. It's always such a treat to drop in for your tea time. I've linked my latest cake because tomorrow's post will be about gravy! Though, in honor of my Mayflower ancestors, perhaps I should link my Indian Pudding.
