Would you think me crazy to say I found God today in my tea cup?
As many of you know already, I ‘m an avid Anglophile. I was weaned on Earl Grey and milk…well, almost. It has always been my comfort drink. When I am hurting, physically or emotionally, just wrapping my fingers around the warm mug and inhaling the soft scent of the tea relaxes me. Then that first creamy sip…hmmm. The world is a better place.
Now, I can drink tea without the cream, but somehow it is not as the same. The swirling white liquid changes the color, the texture and enhances the taste in my opinion. It makes it oh, so much better.
This here is where the God part enters the picture.
My faith acts in much the same way. When I am hurting or frustrated I can wrap my soul around His Spirit. It envelops me and swirls through me. Immediately, I feel as sense of calm flow over my shoulders and down my back. When, through prayer, I drink in this holy peace, I begin to feels its effects from the inside out.
I suppose I could exist without my faith. Many people do. They drudge through life with a fatalistic, self-orientated attitude. But like the cream in my tea, faith enhances my life. It recolors it, 
enriches its flavor, and makes my day more appealing, no matter what happens. I really prefer having that dash of soul-cream in my day. When I pray to my Lord and read His word, it as if I am swirling goodness into my life.
As the tea warms my belly, faith warms my soul.
Of course, there are times I just want to bask in a good cup of tea–just because. Nothing is making me anxious. My aches and pains are minimal. Life is chuggin’ along just fine. Get the connection? I knew you would.
Enjoy some tea time with your Lord today.
