This weekend is time for me to steep a bit. I'm on retreat and on Friday I was having a hard time disengaging from my life as I know it. I came across a great scripture on my blogging friend Dianne's blog and it hit me right between the eyes.
Matthew 6:33-34:
Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions.
Don’t worry about missing out.
You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now,
and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.
God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. (The Message)
The first word stands out to me so much. I love tea and know that a good tea needs to steep just right in order to be perfect. Not to short or its weak, not to long or it gets bitter tasting. May I steep in the waters of God in order to be strong, refreshing, fragrant and comforting as a perfect cup of Earl Gray.
Just for the fun of it, if you'd like to know more on how to steep a perfect cup of loose leaf tea - click on this link.
Happy Steeping

And I never knew one could be so 'picky' about tea until himself showed up in my life.
I want tea, I let him make it.
Mine never, ever, EVER tastes like his.
Ever.
And thanks for the tips on tea. Although for me it has to be decaf Irish Breakfast. I haven't had a good cuppa loose leaf tea in ages!
