My fall table isn’t fancy and there are no
expensive china plates or silverware adorning it.

I sit here on a Sunday evening trying to describe this simple fall

The mighty artist.
He is the one who crafted those beautiful little pumpkins
and with his hands created each petal of the hydrangeas…

Today I say, thank you dear Lord
for all the beauty you have created.
I give you the credit for all the blessings in my life
and please allow me to not take it for granted.
As I set out to simply describe my humble table, I was moved to speak what was in my heart. And that is, an abundance of gratefulness and love for the one who guards us and loves us, my Lord and savior Jesus.
Wishing you a beautiful upcoming week.
much love,

This is very beautiful, Lucy! Beauty is found in the simple things. I love white, you will find color in my accents, but my favorite things are my white things. The small milk pail with fabric and bow is precious with the hint of color in the hydrangeas. Very very pretty!
Blessings, Nancy

Amen! I love the post and I agree! He is my Lord and Savior also and HIS beauty in nature takes my breath away. Thanks for a honest and transparent post!

Great photography skills!
Love your fall table. I’m so bad at decorating for seasons…I hope to get better. Where do you begin when deciding to create a work of art like that? 🙂 I love how you gave credit back to God. It’s so true…everything we love about the seasons comes from Him!

Hi – so lovely yet so simple. Love it. Found you on The Lettered Cottage. I have been think of doing a fireplace mantle design using whites and off whites, using white pumpkins, burlap, wheat etc. So thanks for giving me a few other ideas!

Hi Lucy,
Your beautiful words reminded me of how I should become more thankful at all times. I would like to share one of my favorite sayings with you- “The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings”. Thank you for always sharing with us how your heart truly feels. Sheila S.
This post touched my heart today. You stated facts about God in such a beautiful way. Your blog continues to bless and inspire me in so many ways. Thank you! You are a gifted lady!
So I am totally stalking your blog tonight, but I just have to say how beautiful this post is, not just the table but the words that accompany it. You are truly talented Lucy!
This is one of my absolute faves of the season … all of that monochromatic white on white. Peaceful and humble. Love it!! Thank you so much for the party today.
Oh my goodness, that was written as beautifuly as the pictures themselves. I agree with the blogger a short way up that it is so nice to see a blogger aknowledge God and give Him credit for all we have after all He is our provider. Thank you for saying it so well:) May He continue to bless you and your family.
