Tea Time with God: Day 1
I like to observe the Lenten season by focusing on Christ's sacrifice for me. It's not that I don't think about it other times of the year, but those 40 days leading to Easter can be a sobering time of thought. If you really focus on what Christ Jesus did, Easter is even more glorious, more miraculous, and more appreciated.
I have given up things in the past - the idea being that personal sacrifice can help you understand Christ's sacrifice (a little bit, anyway!) Also, when you're really missing thing you gave up, you turn it over to God. Every sugar pang, yearning for red meat, etc. is a personal reminder to reconnect with God.
So, this year, I was thinking about what to give up and/or add to my life that would help me observe Lent. I came up with Tea Time with God. Each day I will have a cup of tea and spend that time with God. I'll share some of my thoughts here.

Today's Tea Time:
Tea: Jasmine Blossom Green Tea
Bible verses: Psalm 23:2-3
Meditation: a devotion from Tea Time With God 
The devotion mentioned the idea of using an afternoon tea
time to boost your physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. Now that’s
asking a lot of a little cup of tea! I don’t know if I’ll continue in the
afternoons, but this first day lined up perfectly with the devotion. I’m glad I
took time out to reconnect with God for a few minutes this afternoon. And, my
body was glad I wasn’t chugging another diet soda (my usual afternoon “upper.”)
- a great way to begin Lent! -
