I thought this was an interesting chapter on making your home beautiful through centerpieces. Making a simple or complex centerpiece for your dining table or your dinner tray. Adding a little ray of sunshine to your day through a flower or other "pretty" object to show that you care.

| Christmas/Valentines Centerpiece, by Jeff |
"...I feel that the 'caring' for others in the family, whatever that 'family' consists of, can be expressed over and over again in ways which bring a very warm chain of memories, through transforming an ordinary meal table into a place of surprise and beauty."

I liked how she also addressed those who may live alone by encouraging them to not neglect adding a little beauty to their day.
Using God's creation as a focal point at a meal draws everyone closer together.
I like to receive flowers from my husband or children. I put them in a vase and set them on the table or on the counter where I can enjoy them and remember that someone thought about me.

I like to arrange flowers into pretty bouquets or little decorations. I learned it from my mom. Beauty is all around if we only take the time to notice it.

Thanks so much for sticking with this study! It's been a bit hectic for me the past few weeks and I'm afraid I wouldn't stick with it if I didn't have others reading through the chapters with me. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way flowers brighten the home. One can never have too many flowers. :) Have a great week!
