"... a Flower ... -- Georgia O'Keeffe"
"When you take a flower in your hand and really
look at it, it's your world for the moment.
I want to give that world to someone else."

"Lemon Dish"
by Miriam E. Waters
I recently discovered that there is a piece of dinnerware devoted to the serving of lemon slices – a “Lemon Dish.” I tried to research this odd little dish, but had no success in learning the origins or practices associated with the dish.
I searched an online auction site for antique or vintage pieces and discovered a wide variety of an item that I didn’t know existed. I discovered a bevy of dishes made from china and glass.
The dishes were usually round with a hook that curled towards the center of the dish. Some were gilded and many were hand decorated with delicate flowers.
It’s a quaint idea … reserving a special dish for such an unusual purpose.
I was thrilled a few days ago to find a heavy cut glass “Lemon Dish” for sale at a retirement village. I arrived late in the day and found the little beauty overlooked and mixed in with a collection of other leftovers. I asked the elderly woman selling the piece if she knew whether it was indeed a “Lemon Dish” and she admitted that she didn’t know. I knew. What else could it be?
I took my treasure home and hand-washed it. Once cleaned, the little dish beamed with light refracting off its many cut surfaces. I haven’t discovered a place for it yet, but I may have to begin collecting other “Lemon Dishes” to keep my beautiful oddity company.

The Warrior's War -- Ephesians 6:10-18
... finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
