Tea Tattler Relaunch

Tea Tattler Relaunch
A Difficult 2020
This past one year has been most difficult for many people. Thankfully, tea and its simple pleasures has been a constant refuge. When all else seem to have fallen prey to the pandemic, tea soothes and calms the soul.
Day to Day Activities Have Become Challenging

The loss of such activities, plans for leisure, and an absence of a bigger world to explore wears hard on our souls.
Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone
That said, as much as we would like to sooth our senses, we need to feed our souls. Jesus once said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”

Tea has been known across the ancient world as a good accompaniment to spiritual activities. It calms us down while helping the mind to focus. So, I welcome you into my virtual teahouse. The here and now can meet with the eternal, away from the fears and troubles of this day. Over a cuppa cha!
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
