Tables of Love !

Well, well, who are these two hotties? And where are they going all dressed up?

Nana and I went on a mother/daughter date to a "Tables of Love" missions banquet at church.

There were 25 tables with 6 women sitting at each of them. Each table had a hostess who decorated it with a theme.

Some were comtemporary.

Some had a seasonal theme.

Some were traditional.

This one was whimsical!

This one was nostalgic.

Mardi-Gras? ... let's party Christian style !

Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop -- LOL ! They may have had different themes but they were all beautiful !

This is Bunny, she was our table hostess and as you can guess the theme was bunnies!

Bunny is a retired teacher and now sells Mary Kay. She gave each of us a lip gloss and nail kit -- how generous! She also made each of us a "boo-boo bunny". It was made out of a white washcloth with an opening in the center where you can put a couple of ice cubes inside and then put on your boo-boo if you get hurt --- how creative !!

Bunnies bunnies everywhere !

Then we got to eat the most incredible meal -- One of the ladies on our church made chicken cordon bleu, with asparagus and feta cheese salad, and a carrot soufle ---- all I can say is it was Heaven on a fork!

but the dessert... oh, the dessert -- it was like nothing else ! Some sort of peanut butter, chocolate mousse -- wonderfully delicious! Here's mom thanking God that she's not allergic to chocolate -- LOL!

After dinner we had a guest speaker from New York, Patty. She's an awesome teacher. She taught on the power of our words ! Each woman got a balloon, and each balloon had a piece of paper inside it with a word written on it.

So how did we get to this word on the inside of the balloon?

That's right! We had to sit on them and pop the !! LOL It was something to hear -- about 200 balloons popping at once! The lesson was that even though the word inside the balloon was written without you in mind, it still had an impact and evoked some kind of feeling. Some words evoked positive feelings "joyous, kind, loving" and some words evoked negative feelings " irritating, difficult, annoying" . So, when these words come at you what do you believe? You must believe the Word of God! And to do that, you must read the Word of God! Great teaching!

After the teaching, they handed out door prizes -- I won a Mary Kay gift bag !

Mom and I had a great time meeting new people !

But a special thanks to our friend Marilyn. She surprised Mom and me with two tickets to the event! Thanks Friend! We had a fantastic time --- it was needed :-)
