Welcome dear friend, it is so lovely to have you drop by for our time of reflection…
Blueberries, flavouring black Ceylon tea is my choice today, taken with a Macadamia & honey bar as my treat of deliciousness.
Blueberries are great boosters to our immune system & make this particular tea blend very satisfying & healthy at the same time! I have a little Blueberry bush growing in my garden, the bush gets full of plump juicy little dark blueberries.
Just ripe for picking, when a sneaky little Wattle bird decides to have a feast & I am left with only a few! Oh well, she finds our garden a haven in which to raise her chicks, so I don’t really mind.
We also have a Macadamia orchard in the area, these trees flourish here in Australia, my absolute favorite in the nut family, combined with honey this sweet bar is perfect with this tea blend…
Role Models
We glean so much in childhood from the positive examples around us…don’t you think….I grew up in a home that followed God’s principles & was taught in schools that gave reverence, awe & respect to Him.
The positive legacies left to us from those who have gone before are also very important & influential…
Some of the blessed legacies I gained from my grandparents, were knowing my father’s parents met at a church picnic. And observing my mother’s parents loving & honoring God in their lives.
I was fascinated to hear the story of my great Aunt spending her adult life helping & ministering to those suffering from leprosy on a remote Island in the Pacific, where she ultimately gave her life, surrounded by those same sufferers who had grown to love her.
Road of Faith
While these examples & legacies are very positive signposts for us on the road of faith…we were each created for a individual relationship with our Creator.
Each of us has a personal invitation to go on our own spiritual journey to find that relationship with Him…
This search may take some to exotic destinations (mine was to Penang, Pearl of the Orient Malaysia), some will experience distractions & get side tracked, some will of their own choosing take alluring detours along the way, while others will remain in safer locals….or procrastinate…
Though the name on the ticket to this adventure is your’s alone, it is not transferable & remains an open ticket only for the time that is allotted to you, it’s your individual journey to choose to travel or not…
A point to reflect upon though…is….none of us know the date, time or place of our final departure, my advice to you my dear friend…is…don’t wait or procrastinate.
The invitation & ticket for the adventure of your life is there waiting now, it has already been paid with a great high price…
Whether you have got distracted, side tracked, detoured or are yet to begin the journey…He is calling out to you….As shared in Seasons & generations…
Just like the Macadamia & blueberry plants…you too will grow & flourish when planted in His care…
Until next time…
Jennifer

Jennifer, visiting from God-Sized Dreams today. I do love the way you weave your love of tea with story. Quite clever, you! Legacy — heavy on my mind these days. Thank you.
Hi, it was lovely to have you drop by & so glad you enjoyed our time together…
Thank you for your kind words,
Jennifer
You always have a sweet way with words, and a calming visualization. Gentle hugs, Jennifer 💗
What a lovely compliment, thank you, I think word pictures always take us on a journey, don’t you…
Sending you gentle hugs too…
Blueberry tea sounds delicious, I had a friend make me some recently with green tea as I’ve not been having milk due to some lactose issues. Though cream in coffee is fine? Good to see you found Arabah’s link up and I love all the different tea recipes here.
Hi Lizzy,
Lovely to have you drop by, thankyou for your encouraging words!
I haven’t had that tea blend but it sounds interesting.
Yes lactose intolerance is difficult, I totally empathize.
Visiting from Faith and Friends Link up. I love the truth that we each have our own individual, personal relationship with our Creator God and within that He leads us on a wonderful journey through life. We only need to be ready to surrender and go with Him. Thanks for sharing your sweet stories of legacy, they are beautiful. Sweet Blessings to you!
Lovely to have you visit Cheryl, yes accepting the invitation is the biggest step of the journey.
Then the greatest adventure begins!
As always, I enjoy your gentle interweaving of faith with regular life. My husband has a whole garden just for blueberries and a very elaborate netting system to protect them. No matter how bird proof he thinks it is, birds always find their way in. It is very touching to see him gently encourage them out again.
Thankyou Elizabeth for your kind words & for that lovely story about your husband’s gentleness.
Hi Jennifer!
I so agree with what you share about the legacy of family as well as our opportunity to choose the path ahead. Would love to hear about your trip to Malaysia. Blessings on your weekend!
Thankyou Pam, that story will be shared ahead..
Blessings for your weekend too!
Blueberry tea? I need to get some and drink with a little cream. Blueberries and cream go together.
Yes, so thankful for the positive legacies around me. Can think of so many.
Yes, that would be a delicious treat.
Glad you dropped by.
Peacefilled writing…very soothing!
Thankyou, serenity in this life is so very important…don’t you think.
Being at peace, having serenity is probably the best feeling…everything else follows! Thanks again Jennifer!
Absolutely! You are very welcome.
