My morning Cup of Tea

     I like to have a cup of tea while reading the Word each morning. This morning's cup has some beautiful pink roses on it, and was a gift from my Grandmother. Tea is wonderful, and I usually drink it in a mug, but nothing makes you feel more ladylike than raising a pinkie while drinking from a delicate piece of china.
     This week I will be working on combating my temper problem (wish me luck!) with these scriptures, and the Lords help.
 
  "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly."
                                                                          Proverbs 14:29
  "Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city."
                                                                           Proverbs 16:32
   
     I have a quick temper, among many other faults, and this week I am going to memorise these two verses and repeat them daily in my head, especially when I am getting frustrated. After all, if our Lord himself used the Word to combat Satan, then I will be more than able to use it to combat my irritability!

  3. Good Afternoon Mrs. Evans!

    It is a pleasure to meet you and to thank you for stopping by my humble cottage.

    I have read your past posts and they are delightful. What a gracious hostess you are.

    I have enjoyed myself immensely. And yes, I will return. Your apartment reminds me of mine in my single days. And yes, like you, I live in a very "small" I would say in all honesty "minuscule" income, which my gracious and loving husband earns close by.

    Thank you for sharing...and I will keep you in prayer in regards to your temper. I am Hispanic, so loosing one's cool, is not unusual for me. But I must share Shannon, that only He, Our Saviour, can truly change you from the inside out.

    In His Grace and Love,

    Maria.
