“Tea: the Instrument through which great conversations are born.”
Sally Clarkson
Tea Time Tuesday: Cream Scones and raspberry jam—yum!
The Clarksons, I am sure, have been shaped in messages, hearts and faith primarily through discussions—and most life-shaping discussions were over the daily habit and rhythms of tea time or dinner. Tea is merely and instrument for providing a place to grow friendships and faith.
The past couple of weeks have been filled with sweet, and great and fun and serious conversations with Nathan and Keelia while they were here and with Sarah and Thomas and with friends and my Bible study—I have a way of life tea time sort of ministry! :)
What an adventurous week—today I speak of memorizing a canticle with your family, from the Celtic Daily
It will speak to them and comfort them everywhere they go the rest of their life.
Prayer:
Christ, as a light
illumine and guide me.
Christ, as a shield
overshadow me.
Christ under me;
Christ over me;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Be in the heart of each to whom I speak;
in the mouth of each who speaks unto me.
This day be within and without me,
lowly and meek, yet all-powerful.
Christ as a light;
Christ as a shield;
Christ beside me
on my left and my right.
Orzo Christmas salad. An unforgettable song. And adventure.
Friendship has been a theme of my life. Creating groups of like-minded women through hospitality, gatherings, reaching out has given me some of the greatest blessings of my life. Today, my forever friend, Jacqui and I speak of friend formation, and tell of our intentional and purpose-driven fun times and how it has shaped us, and we tell of a fun adventure too. Such fun. Hope it encourages you.
What rhythms have shaped you and yours?
I am loving this season—so much to be grateful for and so much to ponder. Let me know what you think about today’s podcast. God bless you all.
Happy week, friends.
