Tea Talk


I am having...

An icy cold glass of vitamin C...good, old fashioned Orange Juice!


I am feeling...

Anxious and a bit stressed...for the first time since my dad died...my mom is a bit afraid in her home. I am missing Brittany who has gone to stay with her for a few days. I need to get to get to the grocery store because we are in a winter storm warning tonight through tomorrow.

On my mind...

That I need to not have fear in matters of the heart. That God will take care of my mother...I need to remember that fear is not from God...and Fear means...FALSE evidence appearing real!



"Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you. "
Deuteronomy 31:6


Thank you Ruth for hosting this wonderful Tea Time...a break right in the middle of my day that I look forward to. Even though I didn't have tea today...maybe I should have a calming tea after all...Please join us for friendship and Tea Time at Celebrate Friendship...we'd love to see you there.

  1. Lifting you up to the Lord, my friend.

    "For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand" and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Isaiah 41:13.

    Place it all in His hands and rest.

    Take care,
    Debbie

  3. Dear Joyce Marie,

    Remember dear friend...

    "Fear not for I am with you...Do not be afraid for I am your God! I will help you, yes! I will hold you up with my right hand of righteousness" Isaiah 41:10

    Remember that He is your peace! There is nothing to fear because fear is not from HIM!

    Your mom is going through a difficult time and the Lord will fill her with peace and comfort. But you must sit still and allow the Lord to be that for her.

    Praying for you dear friend,

    Maria

  8. My heart so understands what you're feeling. We are going through a lot of the same concerns regarding hubby's mom. It's hard and I get fearful, too. I need to remember that it isn't from the Lord and to trust in Him with all my heart. (((HUGS))) to you, my friend!! I love visiting your blog - you always bless me SO much. I will keep you in prayer!

    Lots of love - Julie

    Well, thank you for your very long comment on my post today! I loved it!

    Lime green for Ted's room is an awesome idea! You definitely gave me a starting point!!

    I absolutely LOVE that pic of Brittany and Dennis on your page.

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am praying for your mom and Brittany to be blessed by God's peace and what a special girl she is, to spend time with her grandmother in such a caring way.

    See ya:)
