As I Do Tea

                   

Proverb 17:22

As I bring out the kettle and fill it to the brim, joy begins to seep in. 

As I wait for the water to boil,

I pray about what’s on my heart

today. 

As I gather the teapot, the cup, spoon,

honey, and tea; 

I lay down a memorized

scripture or two or three.

As I pour the steaming water over

the fragrant tea, 

I breathe in the comforting delight.

      As I wait for the tea to fully steep,

                       I heap praises

                       at Jesus’s feet. 

Psalm 146:1 

As the brew comes to perfection, 

I pour out thanks to the One who 

who transformed me 

from bitterness to kindness.

As I pause over my teacup,

I invite the Redeemer

to join me at my tea. 

As I sip the sweet tea,

I’m reminded that

I’m never alone,

Jesus Christ

is always

near

me. 

Psalm 119:76

                 

May your tea time preparations 

be filled with joy, comfort, 

and a sweet time in

Christ's uplifting presence. 

Uplifting blessings,
