Tea Time

 Psalms 23 ~
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. KJV

I look after my granddaughters after school four days a week.
A set of twins who are seven and a six year old.
They are a lively bunch!
I have been having Tea Time with them since they were wee little (smiles). I make some special treats for us to have our tea. They love adding sugar maybe a little too much.  I set a small bowl of ice cubes along with the tea to cool theirs off a bit. It is a memory. My goal was and is to make a memory with them. To give them a love for Tea Time with Grandma.
They have recently begun to learn how to read. So we have tea time with Psalms 23.
I have one of them read and I help them with the hard words. Words like shepherd, pastures, and righteousness.
Tea time has become something they look forward to and even ask for at times. Usually, I’m the one to initiate it but I don’t mind (smiles). I enjoy it. I do pray that they will become familiar with Psalms 23. I do pray that as we are consistent with Tea Time and the reading of God’s word they will begin to ask for the Bible to be read out loud as we sit and enjoy our tea.

Keeping Home

-

(A few thrifted French inspired plates from Goodwill) As we face very trying days we must keep things as normal as possible. Being faithful as  Keepers at home. Keeping house . Tending to the children (if you have littles at home.) Being watchful and prayerful. Not neglecting our call as wives & mother’s. All things are for His glory! There is a sense of beauty in our day to day lives as homemakers. I encourage you to take sometime to enjoy what’s around you. Whose around you. I take out my fine dishes and I use them and enjoy them. You can do the same and enjoy them with those you love. Proverbs 17:22 says’ A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” Keeping a joyful heart is like medicine. Strong’s definition says “ it’s a cure . A joyful heart gives a happy healing. Removal of a bandage for the healing of a wound.” Are you keeping a joyful heart? If you find yourself overwhelmed by the times. Feeling empty (like I’ve felt recently) go before the Lord open his word and be fill...

The Devastating Cost of Sin Carried Out

This is my response to a post on a  Pastor’s page ( his response was he was saddened for his “dismissal “) to his response about the news on Carl Lentz being fired from his position. -Forgive me and I say this with much respect - You are saddened to hear of his “dismissal “?!   Why not call it what it is . I’m saddened that he committed an adulterous relationship .  Aren’t you?  I’m saddened that another marriage has been dreadfully violated. I’m saddened that another man of God ,   fell to the temptations of the flesh . Pride is very subtle.  James 1:4-16 “14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by HIS OWN DESIRE . 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.” I’m saddened for his children. I’m saddened for his wife and what this has done to her. I’m saddened for the thousands of church members who attended services under his leader...

Only A Remnant Will Remain

      Isaiah 24:1-23 “1  Look! The L ORD  is about to destroy the earth and make it a vast wasteland. He devastates the surface of the earth and scatters the people. 2  Priests and laypeople, servants and masters, maids and mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, bankers and debtors--none will be spared. 3  The earth will be completely emptied and looted. The L ORD  has spoken! 4  The earth mourns and dries up, and the crops waste away and wither. Even the greatest people on earth waste away. 5  The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant. 6  Therefore, a curse consumes the earth. Its people must pay the price for their sin. They are destroyed by fire, and only a few are left alive. 7  The grapevines waste away, and there is no new wine. All the merrymakers sigh and mourn. 8  The cheerful s...
