Tea With Jesus

 

I've often thought that a cup of tea, even more than coffee, enhances my daily time in the word. Maybe it is because porcelain tea cups and floral tea blends are so lovely and compliment the "life-giving" words of the bible so well and playing my favorite Christian music in the background makes early morning quiet time utterly perfect . I feel as though giving all of your senses something beautiful in one sitting is truly spiritual.

 

With this in my mind I've decided to begin a weekly series (Tea with Jesus) to rejuvenate my blog. I've been greatly inspired by my friend Stephanie at http://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com. Her blog, with its beautiful faith-filled content and her lovely teacup and mug exchanges, have brought a sense of beauty to my life. So, a special thanks to Stephanie!

 

Anatomy of Tea With Jesus

 

July 17, 2015

 

Tea ~ Harney & Sons Earl Grey Imperial, black, with a touch of sweetener

 

Music ~ Brokenness Aside, All Sons & Daughters

 

Scripture ~ The Book of Ephesians

Ephesians 1:7 ~ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

 

Thoughts ~ I lay my brokenness aside to dwell in the word of God. I ponder the words "redemption" and "grace" and what they mean for me. Indeed, they mean a New Life if I am willing to accept them.

My Latest Teacup & Mug Exchange

My dear friend Stephanie at http://theenchantingrose.blogspot.com/?m=1 has recently hosted another teacup and mug exchange. To say, I adore her blog and these exchanges would be an understatement. Her blog gives me such inspiration both spiritually and as a fledgling homemaker. I turn to her beautiful graphics and lovely projects and recipes on a daily basis. If you have not checked out her blog I urge you to do so as soon as possible! You won't be sorry. 

My first package was my lovely teacup from a dear new friend, Nikki. My teacup came with a handmade tea wallet made by Nikki's daughter, Salinn. I adore this wallet and am hoping to make it a sewing project for Katie and I during home school arts and crafts. I also received a box mix for cranberry scones which Katie and I will make in home economics. I recently read a home schooling article by a mother who incorporates tea-time into her daily home school schedule. I am looking forward to tea and scones over poetry with Katie in the near future! Thank you so much Nikki and Salinn!

Next my mug package arrived from the lovely Lori. Such treats in this package. Along with a beautiful mug I received a package of chocolate coffee and a chocolate creamer which was simply delectable! And then there were chocolate candies and a chocolate biscotti! Just so perfect for me! I am a huge fan of biscotti! A lovely fall tea towel also came with the package. Thank you so much for the perfect package Lori!

My packages couldn't have arrived with more perfect timing! And isn't the start of autumn just the perfect time to host a teacup and mug exchange! Thanks again to the lovely Stephanie for hosting these exchanges! I am very much looking forward to the next exchange!
