Frosty Morning Tea

With a  huge dip in the   temperature and snow on the way,   this morning was  crying out  for a  Frosty Morning  Tea  Breakfast for two.

 Even though  the  setting   reflected an icy morn,   with   frosty  hoary,   crystals  and   snowy fluffs   sprinkled  all about,   the  ancient  radiator  in the dining room   proved  

trustworthy!

 Lady Earl Grey in her   lovely   blue wrapping   and her  highly  delicate   flavor  suited the occasion to a "TEA"!

 Served in my  latest addition,   my   Wedgewood, Countryside   china cups,,   it  was  absolutely brill!

 Delicious   homemade  cranberry   oatmeal topped with  whipped cream  is now   going to become a staple in our home....

 I   was inspired  to  create this  dainty  tasties   from my latest   Tea Time magazine...

The ones in the magazine  were  not  toasted, 

 however,  for  our   warm-us-up   breakfast,   toasting   was  essential!

 These   were served up  with  alternating   egg salad  and   hot buttered strawberry jam.

Fueled for the day, now   no telling  what  mischief we may achieve!!!

Tea Time Thoughts

A peaceful teatime is such a marvelous opportunity to collect my th0ughts and really come to grips with ideas that keep circulating in my head.. lately on this very important topic...

how does one go about sharing the gospel with their most cherished family members especially in these trying days of uncertainty.. for example how would I share the gospel with a loved one who is facing the end of their life due to some catastrophic disease... one who may have always held to a faith in God and always tried to live a good life,, but you;re just not sure of his/her salvation... here is a word from wonderful teacher Billy Graham on this important topic.

" You certianly do not want him to go into eternity without hope and without Christ - and God may want to use you in these days to confront him with this sobering reality.

Pray, therefore, that God will open the door for you to talk frankly with your father about his spiritual condition. Sometimes the hardest people to talk to about spiritual things are those who are the nearest to us - our relatives or closest friends. But remember: You are not alone. If God opens the door to talk with him, He will be with you by His Holy Spirit - and He'll also be working in your father's heart.

During these days, let him know that you love him and you care what's happening to him. And let him know that because you love him, you care not only for his physical health but also for his spiritual well-being. Let him know, too, that you hope to be with him in heaven some day - and you will, if he opens his heart to Christ. "
For Christ, alone is the way, the truth and the path to eternal life.
Most of all, let him know that God loves him. He may not love God - but God loves Him, and the proof is Jesus Christ. When we know Christ, nothing "in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). "

OH how powerful is the gospel message and none anymore wonderful than this message to a dying patient,, Pause the music to take advantage of this loving message.
