Use Those Treasures!

I was watching the squirrels out my dining room window today
when I turned and looked into our china cabinet.

 There was my green wedding china and the blue Charlotte
china that DH buys for me now.  I smiled as I thought of all
the love in that china cabinet. 

 

I looked a little closer at the salt and pepper shakers and ....

wondered .....where in the world did I get those?  After a few

minutes of thinking about it, I'm sure I got them on vacation at

Helen, Georgia, over twenty years ago!  But I don't remember

actually buying them or the store I bought them in.  They have

been stored behind glass like this for over twenty years.  I've

never used them.  I'm sure it was because I was raising two

very active little boys and they were safer in the china cabinet.

Time to start using my treasures!  So I took out the salt and 

pepper shakers and decided to put them in action! But where?

 

I filled them with salt and pepper and put them right on 

the gathering room table!  Beautiful! 

After looking at them, maybe they are too big for the small

table.  I moved them to the counter where we set our 

dishes and fix our plates, now.  Yes, a better fit.

 
These are only salt and pepper shakers.  A simple thing. But
time is short and we shouldn't keep our personal treasures
behind glass.  Our real treasures are the people we love.
We should hug them every minute we can!  Laugh all the
time!  And smile when we use our pretty salt and pepper
shakers!

Have a great week!

Love,
