Steeping In Fellowship

 (photo by Carolyn K. Knefely)

Rain pounded the windshield. The windshield wipers slapped the stinging rain drops off its face with horrendous speed.

With eyes that were wide awake at 5:10 a.m., I inch my way down the dark and empty road that reflects crashing liquid from unseen clouds. There was beauty in the danger before me with the rain dancing on the road.  However, I make it early to the restaurant that opens at 5:30 a.m. so our Bible study could begin at 6:00 a.m.

The rain in gulfed my car with faster speed when I turned off the engine. I had a few minutes to pray before getting out of my dry cocoon. With unexpected inspiration the words below flowed from my pen. I was not sad when I wrote them but what poured from my heart is how I feel about sharing moments with a friend over a teacup. Therefore, my friend I want to share them with you now.

 

Come sit with me

over a cup of tea. 

My heart is heavy.

Tears seep from

my soul.

A listening ear

that is near

helps me to embrace

the challenges that I face.

 The tea is sweetened

by fellowship

and the comfort of your smile.

 I’ll make it to tomorrow

because you sat with me

for a while.

Grace and peace by yours in abundance 

through the knowledge of

God and Jesus our Lord. 

2 Peter 1:2

Uplifting Blessings,

A Pleasant Pause

 

 

Sitting in solitude

with the Savior,

Steeping in His presence,

Sipping simple tea,

Brings peace

with in me.

 

Satisfying time with the Redeemer

is an uplifting experience.

Reaching out

in a moment of

solitude, tea, and He

is good for

thee.
