This should have been posted yesterday but work and family were more important.
This is a guest post as Chris doesn't drink Tea
Interesting tea, very highly fragrance and personally I am not sure whether I like this in a tea.
The smell filled the kitchen and whilst I am not sure about this in a tea, the smell was lovely.
Perhaps I am more of a Teltey tea girl
The tea was not too full of tannin and not to strong. The colour was something like a good malt whisky. All in all it was a pleasant drink although I must admit I feel it improved when it was not quite so hot.
So today for me as been a bit scary. I delivered my first Thought for the Day today for my preaching module. It has also been recorded to go on local Christian Radio which was both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
This is perhaps why I am in reflective mood and on the walk home from college today I was thinking about smells and how evocative they are. I remember the first time I cooked with bottled gas, it was on honeymoon in Spain. So now when ever I smell that particular smell, it transports me back to my honeymoon and the hot sunny weather.
Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume - John12:3 ESV
So I pray Jesus in these busy days in the run up to Christmas help me to remember that no matter what you are with me. help me to remember that advent is a time of waiting and preparation and help me to seek to honour you as Mary did, in all that I say and do. Amen
