A Cup of Tea for the Heart

Simple Blessings

Posted by Donna on November 14, 2011 in Uncategorized with No Comments


The electricity went out!  I so take it for granted that I forgot what a blessing it is.  I suddenly realized how little I could to without it.

I thought, well, I will just heat some water and enjoy a cup of tea.  The stove is electric.  Okay, I will get some of those pictures hung in the hall that have been waiting on me.  Hall is dark without lights.

Really grateful it is a warm, fall day as our heater requires electricity and so does our fireplace.

Can’t work on the computer – back to pen and paper.  Can’t read unless I sit by the window.  Can’t cook or clean.  (Oh! Too bad!!) Can’t watch TV or talk on the phone.  We may have to go out to lunch and sit and talk to each other face to face.  :) 

Hmmmmm.  Amazing how quickly challenges can become blessings!!

Reckless words pierce like a sword,

but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
