I love tea

It will come as no surprise to those who know me that I love tea. Hot, cold or even luke warm. Any way I can get it. I would rather drink tea than anything else. Growing up we always had sweet tea and when I say sweet tea I mean SWEET tea. As I got older my mom cut back on the sugar until she finally cut sugar out altogether. That didn't set well with my siblings so she ended up making two pitchers of tea, one with and one without sugar.

In the last few years I have started to explore the ritual of afternoon tea. I still don't know everything there is to know about it but I can throw a tea party and not be laughed at. I love scones (the British version of a biscuit) with lemon curd and jam; I can make a really great Victorian Cake; and I know the proper way to brew tea.

About a year ago my friend Christy and I started a women's Bible study in my home on Monday nights. This was my opportunity to get out my tea pots and try different tea. Yum yum. We would have Tea and Conversation. The conversation of course being about Jesus. This was a good time for all of us to get to know more about each other, more about our Savior and a chance to taste test different teas. We found some that we liked and some that we didn't. 

Alas, our schedules got out of control and it became to difficult to fit everything in so the studies are no more. There is a time for every season and a time for everything we do. It was time to end the study but not the friendships and of course tea time. I will be having a tea party soon.

With all that said, get out your tea pots and get together with some friends and have Tea and Conversation. You won't regret it.

Blessings,
