Letting Go and Letting God

Letting go and letting God. I am confident. peaceful, and strong.
As a child my favorite blanket would go with me , when ever I was scared or tired. My "security blanket" was comforting. As I grew up I grew out of needing that blanket, and learned how to cope with being scared or tired, lonely etc., all these unsettling feelings.
As an adult I may revert to fear, doubt, anger, anxiety, when I am faced with life's challenges. The safety of old thought patterns may be a familiar comfort to me than taking a different path. As I learn to let go and let GOD, I realize that God has instilled in me all that I need to face life with confidence, safety and grace.
Today I set aside those old familiar patterns. I let go and I let GOD. I am at peace
Do not worry about anything ~ Philippians 4:6

Aloha to my tea time friends


Last night I watched the movie "Invictus". A line from the movie really spoke to me. Nelson Mandela was serving a visitor tea. He said we have gotten many a customs from the English, one of the best is Tea Time!!!! I couldn't agree with him more!!!! How many of you have shared "Tea Time" with a friend? Whether is be a shared cup with cookies, and good conversation, or a phone call to a friend during afternoon "tea time." To take time in the afternoon, to pause, sip a delicious hot tea, ponder on all that is good in life, is a blessing. I am so grateful for my tea time, and my tea time friends!!!!!!

Do any of you have any tea time rituals or routines? Do you savour it by yourself, or share it with friends? Drop me a little comment, to let me know!

And after your done sipping your afternoon tea, and want to visit another tea time friend, check out Barb over at Bella Vista, and her tea time giveaway. http://barbsgoodlife.blogspot.com/2010/06/tea-time-giveaway-hello-bloggy-buddies.html
