Tea event
What a blessing today was. We met again with some women from the Prior Lake assisted living home. It was fun to see faces from our last tea and some new faces. We even met a celebrity! She was Nurse Carmen that was on WCCO TV a few years ago. She was a sweet woman. We did not hear from her she was a celebrity but from a couple of other women there. All enjoyed our Raspberry green tea with some raspberry jam. We also served a southern tea punch which was black tea with frozen pineapple and grape juice and some sugar. It was a hit! We will be doing that one again.
We have been asked to be put on their calendar for two teas next year! I am grateful and thankful to be able to do two teas next year for them.
Here is the recipe for the Southern Tea Punch we served today.
2 quarts brewed tea ( Orange Pekoe)
1 1/2 cups sugar
12 oz of Pineapple Juice
12 oz of Grape Juice
Stir together the tea, sugar and juices Pour into gallon container and add enough water to make one gallon.Refrigerate and serve over ice. Garnish with sprig of mint if desired. Enjoy!
God's blessing!

Quotes
Little things do make a difference.Will you be the rock that redirects the stream? Alda Ellis
REmember the most important thing you can make together is a memory. Cheryl Johnson
Let us gather for a greeting with our teacups filled with tea and I'll tell you how important your friendship is to me.
Our hats up on our head now we elegantly will place turn and gaze into the mirror and put a smile upon our face.
Our teatime is quite special for we gather two or ten as we share our heartfelt stories and catch up on how we've been.
We share of all the happenings of each our busy lives the daily goings on and on all our blessings and our strife.
It may have been a week or two or just maybe yesterday we give each other insights into our busy ways.
For time moves much too quickly as we sit and drink our tea may we pause for a moment and make a memory. Alda
God bless your Sunday!

Tea at assisted livings
We have two teas this month. We just had one last Tuesday and it was so much fun meeting 10 new women over tea. They so enjoyed themselves and so did we! We even had a woman who said she did not like tea and by end of tea she had tried two and decided the black tea was good! I was excited to see her enjoy tea.
I shared one of my prayer pillows I made for one of the Tea Bingo prizes and the woman who won it just loved it. You could tell she was somebody who prayed. It was so much joy to have her receive this prayer pillow. It was a blessing to her and to me.
God was present and it was another blessed tea at the assisted living in Hugo, MN.
We are off to another tea after church tomorrow in Prior Lake. We were there this past February and excited to see some of the women again and meet some new. Praying God will show his presence there with all of us. Pray we can touch the women there with tea and God's word.
Thanks for praying. Share a cup of tea with somebody new this week!

Tea pairing and brewing
From Allrecipes.com
You’ve heard the old adage about white wines pairing with white meat and red wines pairing with red meat. While not always true, it’s often helpful advice when taken as a general guideline. Well a similar maxim is typically true for tea: Green teas and oolong teas go well with white meats, black teas pair nicely with red meat.
Until the middle of the 20th century, there were no tiny cloth bags of individually parceled tea. For thousands of years, the leaves and buds were either placed in a tea pot or were held in a tea infuser (a tea ball, for example). For most tea-making perfectionists, there is no comparison: it is loose-leaf tea or nothing.
TIP: In a pinch, a French press coffeemaker approximates the infused-tea experience.
How much loose tea is enough? A common rule of thumb is one teaspoon of leaves for each cup of water plus "one for the teapot." Of course, the outcome will be determined by how strong the tea leaves are and by how much hot water the tea is steeping in. Experimentation is in order.
Water temperature. The temperature of the water matters, too. Most black teas do best in boiling water. Green and white teas prefer hot, but not boiling, water. It all comes down to how oxidized the leaves are: black teas are more oxidized and can handle the hot, hot heat.
TIP: Some tea drinkers insist on warming up the teapot before pouring in the hot or boiling water.
How long to steep? Allow black tea to brew anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. Two to 3 minutes is preferred for a bracing tea. But too much steeping can produce a mouth-puckeringly bitter brew.
Steeping vessels. There is much ceremony associated with tea drinking. And pretty teapots are part of the enjoyment. Some are extremely elegant with delicately painted patterns. For steeping, though, many tea drinkers prefer simple, unglazed earthenware teapots. After steeping, it’s time for the beautiful porcelain teapots.
Tea making don'ts. Don't stir the loose leaves around in the pot. This is called "winding." And it's a no-no. It won't speed up the steeping process, but it probably will release bitter-flavored tannins. Wringing the last drop of tea from the teabag produces the same effect.
Tea is the processed leaves (along with twigs and buds) of the tea plant Camellia sinensis, a bush native to warm, rainy climates. Processing freshly harvested tea leaves begins the same for all types of tea. Fresh leaves are sorted out, cleaned, and allowed to wither. From there, a few nuances come into play.
Black--English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Assam
The most common kind of tea, black tea leaves are allowed to ferment before being dried. Westerners call it "black tea" because of the dark color of the leaves. The Chinese know it as "red tea" because of the reddish color of the liquid. Black tea tends to have depth of flavor and lack bitterness.
Green--Gunpowder, Tencha
From the same plant as black tea leaves, green tea leaves are steamed and dried directly after being picked to prevent fermentation, which develops a light, gently bitter flavor much like the fresh leaves themselves. Japan is a leading producer of green tea.
Oolong--Formosa Oolong
Partially fermented large-leaf tea, oolong tea is delicate in flavor, occasionally scented with rose petals, jasmine, or gardenia. Formosa, Taiwan, is an important producer of oolong tea.
You’ve heard the old adage about white wines pairing with white meat and red wines pairing with red meat. While not always true, it’s often helpful advice when taken as a general guideline. Well a similar maxim is typically true for tea: Green teas and oolong teas go well with white meats, black teas pair nicely with red meat.
For these people, placing a bag in a bowl and dousing it with boiling water doesn't get the job done. Check out our quick tips for brewing the perfect pot!

Cucumber sandwiches
I know we have many cucumbers in our garden and thought you might too if you have a garden.
Enjoy these cucumber sandwiches with your tea.
Peel cucumbers and slice very thin. Sprinkle slices with salt. Spread white bread with unsalted butter and a thin layer of cream cheese and layer cucumbers no more than 1/4 inch high. Cut into desired shapes. Enjoy!
I came across some great sandwiches cutters at the Dollar Tree for tea sandwiches. They had star and square shapes. It is fun to explore the Dollar Tree .
Enjoy your Sunday with the Lord.

Great mint tea recipes
Found some great mint tea recipes from about.com by Lindsay Goodwin
Mint makes an excellent herbal tea on its own, but you'll have something special with the addition of fennel and lemonbalm. An added bonus is that this blend will ease an upset stomach as well.
To make Watermelon Iced Tea, you will need:
its brilliant color. Add more ice or a sprig of mint if desired. Serve any extra Watermelon
Iced Tea from a pitcher.
Any leftover Watermelon Iced Tea can be kept covered and refrigerated to be drunk the next morning.
Makes about four servings.
Miss Millie’s Southern-Sweet Mint Iced Tea Recipe
Mint makes an excellent herbal tea on its own, but you'll have something special with the addition of fennel and lemonbalm. An added bonus is that this blend will ease an upset stomach as well.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz peppermint leaves
- 8 oz lemon balm leaves
- 8 oz fennel seeds
Preparation:
Mix the herbs thoroughly, and store in an air tight container. For a cup of tea, use 1 tsp in a cup of boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes and strain out the herbs.To make Watermelon Iced Tea, you will need:
- 6 teaspoons black tea leaves, preferably Nilgiri or Ceylon
- 3 cups boiling water
- 3 cups ice
- 1/6 or 1/4 watermelon, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 sprig of mint, plus a few extra for garnish (optional)
- Combine the tea leaves and boiling water in a teapot.
- Let steep for three to five minutes.
- Strain the tealeaves.
- Combine all ingredients but the tea in a blender. Blend until smooth using the "blend" setting. It should take about 30 seconds. As needed, stop blending to push the ingredients toward the blades with a spoon.
Once the mixture is smooth, you can proceed to step three or cover the mixture until shortly before you plan to serve Watermelon Iced Tea. (Combining the watermelon mixture and the tea just before serving prevents the drink from separating.)Set the tea aside in the fridge or freezer When you're almost ready to serve Watermelon Iced Tea, pour the brewed black tea over a pitcher of ice. Most of the ice will melt, but you've brewed the tea extra strong to accommodate for this diultion. Just before serving Watermelon Iced Tea, combine all ingredients in a large glass pitcher. Stir well. If the drink begins to separate into layers (as is natural for agua fresca-style drinks), simply stir it again.

Messages today
I was helping with housekeeping and laundry at an assisted living today and met some wonderful people. Met a woman who has her cruise boat in Washington and just loves it. She is a nurse also but got so busy that had to quit that. She was visting her mom and I am thankful to have met her. I had told her about my dream about having my tea retreat home and enjoying tea. She said you should do it if that is what you feel you are led to do. Then I was talking to a man and he talked about North Dakota where he was from and now lives in assisted living home. He said North Dakota and Texas are the richest states right now. HMMM. I have wanted to start a tea retreat in Texas not because it is rich but feel God leading me back there. Still praying.
Now as I sit here reading my book Walking with the God who cares I am reading about how we are to do our work, ministry for Him and Him alone. We are to go over and above every assistment the Lord gives us. Your weariness in ministry should never cause you to stop running the race, Living for the audience of one means you carry out your ministry "in the Lord." Matt. 25:40 iI tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. A. W. Tozer wrote,
If you are living only to buy and sell and get gain, that is not enough. If you are living only to sleep and work, that is not enough. If you are living only to prosper and marry and raise a family, that is not enough. IF you live only to get old and die, and never find forgiveness and the daily sense of God's presence in your life, you have missed God's great purpose for you....Build that invisible altar within. Let the Spirit of God produce the living, cleansing flame that marks your devotion to Christ, our Lord.
Ney Bailey, from Campus Crusade for Christ, said "You be responsible for the depth of your ministry , and let God be responsible for the breadth of the ministry."
God bless you this weekend and enjoy that cup of tea in God's word.

A Friend
I was helping at an assisted living the other day and heard this man who always has his door open and sits in his chair and talks, saying I love you Jesus. I want to come home Jesus. Precious Jesus. Wow, what such a great thing to hear. I am not sure why God still has him on this earth but I know he sure touched my heart that day. God's presence is in that place everywhere and such a wonderful thing to see. I pray that this person will touch others and I pray that I will have an opportunity to say to this man, Jesus so loves you!
Blessings for your day.
Blessings for your day.
Bible and Tea
I have been reading this book Walking with the God Who Cares and today I just loved the message. It talked about hope- Holding On with Patient Expectation. That is something I keep being reminded of these days. Talking with a great sister-in-law today who is walking with the Lord and she helped me to remember God is with us. Jesus loves us. We never waste time when we spend it in the Bible. How true! I enjoy reading His word with a cup of tea. So relaxing and so much love and care.
My realtor sent an encouragement today and wanted to share-
A dream, an idea, a vision of greatness - all can be shattered by a word or two from a total stranger. If you are the one with a dream, keep it to yourself as you methodically achieve all that you desire. If it's another who tells you theirs - encourage them to nurture it to fruition. Remember Thoreau's thoughts on this: "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
God has a plan for each one of us and if we allow him to do His work in us He will do amazing things. Immerse yourself in God's word and focus on claiming His promises. It is so worth every minute of spending time with Him. Leave your Christian radio station on all the time. I am one that loves songs about Jesus. Such a reminder how much He loves each one of us and wants the best for us all.
Enjoy your next cup of tea with Him right beside you.
I pray that God will show His presence to you today. Reach out to somebody who is in need. I believe we are to minister in whatever we do. Share His love and word today with somebody that may not know Him.
God's blessings for your day today. Love you and thanks for stopping by.
Remember to be in pray Aug.6 for our country, leaders, people. From 10-3 CT there will be a fast and prayer in Houston Texas at the Reliant Stadium. Be in prayer.
