Happy Pink Saturday!

Hello everyone and Welcome to Rose Chintz Cottage~ 
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful week. I am delighted you have stopped by today for Pink Saturday! Please come in and take a look at the amazing Giveaway I received in the mail this week.

Wendy @ Once Upon A Rose Haven was having a Giveaway and I won! She is a most generous lady and I am so pleased with the goodies she sent me. And since there is a lot of pink in the package, I thought I would share it with you today. So grab your cup of coffee or tea and take a peek~

It all came wrapped up in this pretty pink floral gift wrap.


Upon opening the box, I was met with yet more pink. Wendy had wrapped up everything individually in pink gift wrap. It felt like Christmas!


I unwrapped each gift one by one and admired it, oohing and aahing as I went.
Here is what she sent me, all the way from Tennesee...A most generous gift, yes?


A sweet pink teacup card with a lovely message inside.


A package of pink notecards.


A box of fragrant pink peony-rose scented soap roses.


A sweet pink patterned watering can.


A floral coffee/tea mug with matching cover/coaster. As you can see there are lovely pink roses on it.


And the piece de resistance...


A pretty Sadler full-sized teapot, covered in a Spring floral motif. Irises, daffodils, crocuses, and pink tulips.


If any of you know me, you know I am especially loving the teapot and the mug!
I hope you will pay Wendy a visit. She is a most gracious lady. Thank you Wendy!

Beverly is the hostess of this meme and I hope you will plan to spend some time this weekend visiting her and her party of pinkies. Thank you for visiting me today and have a lovely pink weekend. God bless you!

NOTE~ I am having trouble commenting on many of your blogs. I promise you, if I visit you, I will try to leave a comment.

Spiritual Sundays ~ Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my Canadian friends!


It is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and I thought I would share some things that I am thankful for...

I am thankful for the many blessings in my life; the love of my family and friends, my home, the clothes in my closet, and good food on the table. I never ever take those blessings for granted!

I am thankful for the freedom I have in this country to worship God. 

I am thankful for prayer...
Many of you have prayed for me this past year and I want to thank you.
"The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." ~ James 5:16

I am thankful for the Word of God...
"He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength." ~ Isaiah 40:29
When I am weak, He makes me strong.

"Whatever is true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, of good report ...let your mind dwell on these things." ~ Philippians 4:8
Letting my mind dwell on pleasant things, keeps me in a positive frame of mind when perhaps everything around me is telling me otherwise.

The Lord has rescued me from so many things and in so many ways that I can't help but give Him praise for the good things in my life.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits;
Who pardons all your iniquities; Who heals all your diseases;
Who redeems your life from the pit;
Who crowns you with loving kindness and compassion;
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle." ~ Psalm 103: 1-5

LIVE LIFE WITH AN ATITUDE OF GRATITUDE

Please join our lovely hostess Charlotte who hosts Spiritual Sundays every week. You will be inspired and encouraged. The Lord bless you today and I pray you too will count your blessings!
