We are like teabags,
Whose true strength comes out when we're put in hot water.
So, when problems upset you...
Just think,
You must be God's favorite cup of tea!
(saying found online under inspirational quotes)



I am up early and thinking about my friends and family who are struggling with the problems of life, as well as thinking of my own personal problems.

At times we all feel like we are alone in our troubles, and feel weary from having to deal with all the frustrations that life brings our way. I certainly have felt this way myself, in fact I have felt this way very recently.

Years ago I used to sit with a friend and we would have a cup of hot tea together sharing not only our troubles in life, but our joys. I always felt better after we finished our tea. I find myself lately missing that time I had with my girl friend.

It occurred to me that I did have someone to share tea with. I forget that God would love for us to sit with him and have tea. If only we would quiet our thoughts and our souls, and sit with God and have that tea with him, we would realize we are anything but alone.

God wants to be our friend, and our confidant. I think instead of wishing for the times I had a close friend to share tea with, I will pull out my chair, pour myself a cup of hot tea, and invite God to sit and share a cup with me.


Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.



Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Oh........ I will come and have a cup of tea with you....... I also have no one here to sit and sip tea with and some days it gets a bit lonely.... thank you for reminding me that God so wants to sit and visit....... We sometimes forget that HE created us to walk in the cool of the day with HIM.....not to serve and work and do...... but just to talk and visit........ How that changes our outlook toward HIM....... sorry I have been gone for so long but HE allowed me to take time and play for a while.......Play time is over and I will get started writing once again....... blessings to you my friend....... and please pass the crumpet!

Hey Tracy:
I was glad to see your footprints all over my blog, and thanks for the kind words. I'm not much on hot tea, but I love a tall glass of iced tea. As a matter-of-fact, Jo has a gallon jug of tea out in the sun right now!
I do hope your aunt gets to feeling better. Oh, and that's a great clip, I really enjoyed it... You take and remember, you'r visits are always a treet!!
