::Tuesday's Tea With Me::

A Cup of Tea

When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.

There is magic in its fragrance,
There is solace in its taste;
And the laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.

And the world becomes a lovely thing!
There's beauty as you'll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup of tea.

Tea helps our head and heart.
Tea medicates most every part.
Tea rejuvenates the very old.
Tea warms the hands of those who're cold.

(J. Jonker, Amsterdam, c.1670)

I stumbled upon this poem the other day and I couldn't wait to share it with you. It inspired me to search out a cozy nook and let my mind amble about unfettered by a schedule but spurred on by my heart. May it spark a light in your soul the way it did mine. 

What comes forth from your heart when given permission to run unbridled through capacious fields? Go for it. Let your heart run 
free this morning. Yippeee!

After The Rain

 

::Tuesday's Tea with Me::

I'm in one of those places in life where I am looking for God to speak to me and give me direction. Whenever I find myself in that place I start reading the signs. Literally. So I thought I would share some of the headlines and phrases that have popped out at me recently:

Dip a toe into timeless waters each morning...

(this sounds like something Laura Ayers would say.)

A House Too Small May Be A Blessing

Blow up your TV,

Throw away your paper,

Move to the country,

Build you a home.

Plant a little garden,

Eat a lot of peaches,

Try to find Jesus

On your own.

STOP

(lol. You may have seen this one.)

Whoever loves money, never has money enough;

whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.
