The ladies at our church are beginning a new Bible study this month. Our study is "Esther--It's Tough Being a Woman." If you're familiar with this book of the Bible, you know that Esther was chosen to be the queen to Xerxes, so as we planned the introduction to our Bible study, it just seemed appropriate to make it fit for a queen. We decorated the fellowship hall with pinks and purples, provided goody bags with makeup samples (remember the beauty regimen Esther and all the other contestants went through?), and served a banquet of desserts.
We began our evening watching the
Anita Renfro's William Tell Mom. Wow--it IS tough being a woman when you hear all we are responsible for! We all took the Lipstick Personality Test (
check yours out!), then enjoyed some tasty desserts and tea. Following our refreshments, we watched the introductory session to the Esther study. It was a special evening. I know the Lord has some great things in store for each of us over the next 20 weeks. If you live in Eastern Kentucky, I invite you to join us each Wednesday evening from 7:00-8:00. If you have never thought of God's word being filled with intrigue, I urge you to fasten your seat belt and hold on tight! There are highs and lows, dips and turns like you can't imagine!
I made
Ina Garten's orange-cranberry scones--a must if you're entertaining a queen! We served various flavors of teas and I also decided to dig out an old recipe for a
spiced tea mix. It turned out that both were big hits. If you want to treat someone like a queen, mix up a batch of scones (yes--there's LOTS of butter in the scones, but if you make them dainty, you don't need to feel guilty!), stir up a recipe of spiced tea and lift your pinkie high! We may not be Esther, but as followers of Jesus Christ, we are daughters of the King and personally, I can't think of any other royal family I would rather be a part of!
