Kind. Sweet. Polite. Graceful. Pure. Refined. Modest. Thoughtful. Sensitive. Christ-like.

“Our goal is to put others at ease so they can enjoy their meal and our company”-Emily Post

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice- the kind He will accept. When you think of what He has done for you, is it too much to ask? (see Romans 12:1-2)

~ Boredom is dangerous - Beth Moore ~

I must decrease so He can increase, John 3:30. Let God take the wheel. don't be a control freak- they have fits, but they do not have fun! don't control every bit of the Abundance out of your life. let the wind of the Spirit blow your hairsprayed hair! you're not the one driving... it's gonna be a wild ride (Beth Moore).

All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds that we sow today! (unknown author)

We’re here to reflect His beauty, to shine! (Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven, Matthew 5:16). You are an heiress! a princess. a daughter of the King. Live like it! (...leaving us an example, that we should follow in His steps,1 Peter 2:21) -Follow in His steps!

It is remarkable how great an influence our clothes have on our moral state - Anatole France

Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

On Being a Lady – by Mrs. Emily Post "The attributes of a great lady may still be found in the rule of the four S's: Sincerity, Simplicity, Sympathy, and Serenity."

Sincerity: honest, pure.

Simplicity: the state of being simple, uncomplicated, lack of folly or silliness, innocent

Sympathy: what affects another affects you, loyalty, sharing in others’ feelings

Serenity: clear and free of storms or unpleasant change! Unruffled repose. Peaceful.

such a fun evening together, complete with chocolate :)

Our Goal:

to bring glory to Jesus Christ!
