Tea Time Tuesday is Tomorrow

Good morning all my sweet bloggy friends~ I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. The Island offered us a weekend of sunshine and warm temperatures so we really enjoyed it! We had temperatures of 19 and 20 degrees Celcius over the long weekend, which is 66.8 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit; very warm for the first weekend in April. Today is beautiful too!

Sunday morning, I was enjoying my cup of coffee, when I looked out the front window and I saw my gold finches! I am so happy they are back! Gold finches are such delightful little birdies! Everything is early this year; the songbirds are back already, the tulips are coming up, and the grass is turning green. I expect I will hear the spring-peepers singing any evening now.
I love Springtime!

Just a little reminder: Tomorrow is Tea Time Tuesday once again. If you would like to participate, please let me know in a comment and I will add your link to my post. Those of you who are new to Tea Time, please share a favourite teacup, tea pot, or a piece of china. A scripture verse, poem, or short story would also be very much appreciated. You are welcome to use either of my Tea Time buttons on my sidebar for your Tea Time Tuesday post.

May you all have a beautiful day. See you tomorrow!

I wanted to share a powerful music video by Dallas Holm singing his hit song "Rise Again." I have tried several times but unsuccessfully to add it to my post. Therefore I will share the lyrics to the song.
Rise Again
Go ahead, drive the nails in My hands;
Laugh at Me...where you stand.
Go ahead, and say it isn't Me;
The day will come...when you will see.
*
{Refrain}
Cause I'll rise.... again;
Ain't no power on earth can keep Me down!
Yes, I'll rise....again;
Death can't keep Me in the ground.
*
Go ahead, mock My name;
My love for you is still the same.
Go ahead, and bury Me;
But very soon, I will be free!
*
Go ahead, and say I'm dead and gone,
But you will see that you were wrong.
Go ahead, try to hide the Son;
But all will see that I'm the One!
*
{Final Refrain}
'Cause I'll come again!
Ain't no power on earth can keep Me back!
Yes, I'll come again!
Come to take My people back!
Word by Dallas Holm

"He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'" ~ Luke 24: 6-7

The Lord bless you as you give thanks this weekend for what He did for you! Praise His wonderful name!
