Welcome dear friend, we are going to have such a wonderful time today, I have already prepared a tray with cups, sugar & milk for us…our treats are waiting…
I thought as its such a beautiful sunny autumn day we would sit under our front pergola watching the birds who come & visit our garden each morning.
This black tea blend has many ingredients including cinnamon & peppercorns…our treat is a toasted banana bread slathered with Lemon butter, made from homegrown lemons.
Our front area is protected from the cold winds as we sit in the filtered sunshine, a Kookaburra has just landed on the branch of our umbrella tree. He laughs his laugh…as I sip my tea.
I can definitely taste the cinnamon & the peppercorns…very tasty…perfect with the banana bread.
Defining moments of our lives
This month, was my daughter Candy’s birthday & anniversary, you see she was born sleeping (stillborn) many years ago, so her birthday is also the anniversary of her death.
I haven’t had the raw grief of her loss crash over me for a long time… for I know where she & her little brother, my son Benjamin, also passed away within a year of his older sister, are….both are living in eternity…
How can I be so confident you may ask… faith…
I hope that in reading my experience (link below), it gives you renewed hope & provokes thoughts for deeper reflection in where you may be spending your eternity dear friend, you see its a choice… My experience is shared in the Reading Nook
We choose as to where we will spend eternity, its not an automatic event as popular culture would have us believe.
We need to be prepared for our eternal existence….my choice is with the Creator of the universe & His Son Jesus…
We also need to be prepared for His return…next time I will share how we can do this…
Until then…
Jennifer

Tea With Jennifer 
I am so sorry for your loss, Jennifer. I have no words.
I am thankful you had a vision of where your children are. God was so gracious to allow that, and you are gracious to share your vision.
Thank you Jerralea ❤️
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am so sorry for your loss of Candy and Benjamin. I imagine the loss sweeps over you when you least expect it.
I love to sit and imagine what my loved ones are doing in heaven; it brings me such peace. Hang on to that incredible faith of yours and thank you for sharing it.
Blessings, Maree
Thank you Maree, yes, although the length of time the wave of grief hits is now much further a part in time then it once was.
Oh, Jennifer…beautifully clear and comforting to me this day. Thank you for inviting me over and giving me this to read. I am able to read this now and am alright. A clarity of “going on ahead of” me, as Kenneth told me, alongside your words, gives me a sweet peace. Thank you for sharing. with love, ~ linda
Linda,
I am delighted that you were able to drop by & found comfort & encouragement in the experience of heaven at this time.
I’m sure my Gint walked up to your Kenneth & shook his hand in welcome, as was his custom welcome here…but more importantly they are both hugging & shaking hands with Jesus before the throne of God! What joy! ♥
My heart aches as I think of your loss, Jennifer. I’m grateful for the amazing testimony that God has granted you as an encouragement to others and thank you sincerely for courageously sharing your story.
Thank you Carlie, it’s a pleasure to share God’s love especially from the toughest experiences.
You have a beautiful spirit. I see Christ shine in you!
Thank you for your encouraging & humbling words, ♥ …my constant prayer is more of Jesus & less of Jennifer!
