A gift of tea 🫖🎁🌸🩷☕

A friend from church gave me this lovely box of tea from Japan! She had gone on business! I was really touched!  

God has given me many songs to bless me in different ways, including ones that are beautiful and quiet.  Here's another one of these, called a million different ways ... Below are the screenshots from the YouTube app that I'm using that have the artist explanation of it. Sorry for a bit of repetition in some of the screenshots.

I had a really good time at church and coffee hour.  Some really good rewarding conversations.  A real blessing!  A friend gave me a gift recently that I'm not sharing a picture of here, but it included tea because Elizabeth and Tea always goes together apparently !!!! 🩷🎁🫖🌷☕☺️ 

Receiving these gifts totally unexpectedly was really a blessing! It's not been easy. Some of this since I fractured my ankle. Losing the caregiver was rather stressful though. I've been fine really overall without the person but it was still confusing and stressful.  And having to switch PT places is also a bit emotionally draining for me.  But I have hope for this place than one I'm going to next and I really pray that it's the better step towards healing for me in general. 

In a lot of ways I would say this great lent has been a deep blessing for me.  I'm figuring out more about my own personal physical depletion and trying to learn what to do about it. That gives me hope for better in the future. 

I've had to relearn so many things! It's quite interesting to realize that you have to learn all over again. So many things. But I am learning and I'm thankful.  

I'm looking forward to the future in ways I haven't been before because I've been so sick. Of course I can struggle with anxiety and no one knows what the future brings in many ways. But the thing is God knows and God will be there in the future just as He's here with us now. 

My husband put the car away and put some things in the garage freezer. Because my purse was a little heavy for me, sometimes with my healing ankle. When I hold things it can put too much weight towards the ankle so he was helping me out. Anyway, my keys for the house were in my purse of course so I sat on the steps for a minute and just enjoyed the warm air.  That's when I took the picture of our now snow-free barren tree.  Spring is coming and soon God willing we will start seeing trees i blossom again.

So a lot of blessings.  May God have mercy on us.
