Tea Talk
I’m Having:~
Dilmah Green tea in a pure white cup and saucer – my husband asked me if I would like a cup of tea, and when I said, yes, in a pretty cup, he took me literally. I love white, don’t you? It’s so crisp and clean looking. He also added a Wagon Wheel – I’m so glad that Tea Talk is only once a week, for I should be the size of a house if it were more often!
My Cup:~
I’m Feeling:~
A sense of relief knowing that we have received Home Help with the vacuuming and mopping each week. One week will be on a Wednesday and the following week will be on a Tuesday – the rest of the housework we can cope with, and it is a HUGE weight off my husband’s shoulders, too. Our heavenly Father knows what we have need of before we even ask.
On My Mind:~
- A very dear friend of ours had a skin cancer removed from his nose, and had to have a skin graft. He has had to give up smoking so that the skin graft will take, and I’m praying that the skin graft will take and that he’ll be able to kick the habit once and for all. He’s a delightful man, but there’s nothing of him. I really do feel that he would benefit from giving up smoking and being able to taste the food that he’s eating.
- Our new church building – praying that everything will move along without any problems, and that God will truly bless this step of faith on behalf of the church.
- My husband’s knee – the woodshed is now full, and we don’t have to worry about being cold this winter, praise God!
- These Bible verses are on my mind, as we are currently reading the Bible through chronologically in a year, and it is great that my daughter and I can keep one another on track with our Bible readings.
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up! Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10
I really enjoy Tea Talk each week, and love having you join me for a cuppa. Care to join, please visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship to see the guidelines in her sidebar .

Thank-you for sharing your day. I am so pleased to hear that you now have some help in the home, that must make such a differences.
The Wagon Wheel sounds like such a treat. Did you use to eat them at school – if I was good I might get some tuck-shop money to buy one when I was at primary school – they were a special treat!!
What a lovely verse and very true.
May your Friday be a lovely day:)

Thank you for sharing your touching thoughts, and the topical quotes.
Yes it is a great relief that you are getting the help you need.
Have a pleasant week.
Blessings – Jan
What a grand post and indeed, white is lovely! Wishing you a wonderful day!!!
Hello Jillian,
Your site is very refreshing to visit. I love reading your posts and it’s a delight to share Tea Talk with you every Thursday. Your white cup is pretty and your husband is sweet. Thanks for sharing that beautiful verse.
Blessings!

Hnnn… nothing like tea in a white china cup.
That is great to hear that your wood shed is stooked up. Roll on cold weather.
Thanks for the cuppa, Jillian!
Dear Jillian,
I love your tea cup, just so elegant.
I was wondering what was going on with your back since I last read about it. I am glad to hear of the help you are receiving. Praise God.
((((hugs))))

Praise God for all that He is doing in your life. My in-laws struggle in their home as my mother-in-law now needs surgery on her knees. I’m very thankful that they have found someone who can assist them once a week with normal household chores, as well as family friends who help them yard work.
I love white & wagon wheels are pretty good too! ☺
Hi Jo,
Home help starts next week, and I’m hoping that it will make a big difference.
I did used to eat them at school, although they were much bigger than they are now.
Have a wonderful and blessed week,
Love, Jillian ♥
Hi Jan,
You’re very welcome.
Have a wonderful week,
Love and blessings, Jillian ♥
Hi Cathy,
I pray that you have a wonderful day, too. 
Thank you.
Love and blessings,

Hi Ruth,
Thank you. You’re very welcome.
I enjoy Tea Talk – thank you for hosting it each week.
Have a wonderful and blessed week,
Love, Jillian ♥
Hi Ruby,
I actually really enjoyed my tea in a white china cup – it made me feel very special, which my husband has a habit of making me feel like lately.
I’m so glad that our wood shed is stocked up – all that we now have to do is to get it from the wood shed to the house.
Have a wonderful week,
Love and hugs, Jillian ♥
Hi Michelle,
Yes, I praise God for all that He is doing in my life right now.
Praise God that your MIL is also getting the help that she needs – it’s so hard when people get older, isn’t it? We’re not looking forward to old age.
Have a wonderful week,
Love and blessings, Jillian ♥
Hi Katia,
Thank you – drinking from a white china teacup made me feel special.
My back pain is much better now that we have increased the strength of the pain patches, but the physio says that it will take quite some time for it to heal, and the next step is going to be painful, so I’m not looking forward to it.
Thank you for caring,
Love, hugs and blessings,
Jillian ♥
Hi Ganeida,
Yes, they are, and perfect with a cup of tea.
Our home economics curriculum arrived today, and it looks great – my daughter can’t wait to start.
I hope that you’re having a wonderful and blessed week,
Love Jillian ♥
