Matthew 11: 28-30 (NRSVA)

28 ‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’

I am what they call a Tea-Jenny!

I have loved a cuppa tea since I was a girl. A cup of tea is a blether, a comfort, heat on a cold day, energy in a busy spell. A cup of tea is the love of a friend, sharing laughter, sharing joy, sharing pain, sharing disappointment.

A cup of tea is life-giving…so thinks the woman who needs two cups of tea before she can do anything in the morning!

 

PRAYER:

 

Jesus, my Lord and Saviour,

As the song says, what a friend I have in you.

 

As I take this moment

To stop and have a cuppa

 

Take from me the burdens I carry

All that weighs me down

 

As you share my load

Fill me with your light

 

Amen
