Tea is a little bit of happiness in a world full of chaos. Anon
Happy Day to you, my friends. I certainly agree with the quote above. Miss Tea Cup and I were out shopping and we found these lovely floral mugs, (out of china), to add to her family of cups. Tea stays hotter in china than in ceramic, so we were thrilled to find these beauties. And a mug allows more tea! :)
A thousand thanks to so many of you who answered my questions yesterday. You have given me a lot to ponder. But even more, you have made me feel that the mutual encouragement of one another during this time in history is essential to the health and well being of our souls.
Today, in Tea Time Tuesday, I have so many fun things to share—a favorite book I just put on my coffee table once again, (I change out books so that there will always be something interesting to flip through in multiple places in my home.)
Gentleness has been at the heart of my study this week. I have been memorizing (refreshing) my thoughts about the beatitudes. “Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.” I have had many opportunities this week to slow down, to extend gentleness, and to understand how important this quality is to the heart of Christ. He said, “I am humble and meek. Learn from me.” And so, when we choose gentleness in our response to others, we are reflecting Jesus in our world to others.
Orzo Mediterranean Salad is at the front of one of my favorite recipes as I move toward summer—and oh so beautiful. And I had a funny to share from my life this week, as well as a wonderful story about sharing beauty amidst the challenge of war in the Ukraine.
Finally, though, someone asked me on a podcast, who of all the women in the world in history I would want to have a cup of tea with—you will have to listen to find out. She is my hero.
Who would you choose to have a cup of tea with? I would love to know!
Happy sipping and peace to your life today. Off for a second cup! It’s a two cup tea sort of afternoon!
