Hi dear friends!
It has been awhile since we’ve talked and I’ve missed you all. I just made a fresh jug of iced tea and placed it in the refrigerator. Would you like some?
Keeping iced tea on hand has long been a labor of love for me and has always served well in making friends and guests feel welcomed in our home. I’m smiling as I remember times when those dropping by would not even wait for the offer, but would simply ask, “Any iced tea made?” This was especially true during the warm spring and summer months. So fun!
Our version of that hospitality has always been unsweetened decaff tea and fresh lemon. Very simple! However, the vital secret of that flavor being released is in the boiling water. It must be poured directly over the black leaves and sliced lemon…and left to steep.
Our lives are “kinda” like that, you know. So much of what we’re struggling with seems complex and difficult, but the answers are often simple. They’re found in the release of God’s work in our hearts. Yet, often this can only take place when some of His “heat” is poured over our lives and our response is simply to wait.
I’ve told a story of a personal life-season like that in my new book: Traveling Through Menopause: What’s God Got To Do With It? If you’re a woman in your mid-thirties or older and noticing some changes in your thinking or body that you don’t understand, you may find answers in this read. Did you know that peri-menopause actually begins in a woman’s life around age thirty-five?
The book is very conversational and for sure, informational and encouraging. Do check it out on the above tab…or go directly to Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
Meanwhile, is there a pitcher of iced tea in your refrigerator?
