Thinking of "teatime" evokes pleasant memories of friendships steeping over a hot pot of tea. With the image of a beautifully laid table set with Grandmother's fine china and silver, we recall a finer time of civility, gentility, propriety- when life made perfect sense.
While not everyone observes a formal afternoon tea time, the tradition of breaking for a small repast of tea and cakes can benefit anyone. The rush of the day's activity slows for a moment, shared conversation with a friend turns our thoughts toward being instead of doing, and peace is reestablished in our lives. It is a time to repair our frayed nerves and restore order to a fractured day.
Spending a few moments in the afternoon with the lord can begin with reviewing the day's events so far. Get any negatives out of the way first, such as a hasty affront to a coworker or a missed opportunity for doing good. Pray for forgiveness and the opportunity to make restitution. Then express gratitude to God for the prayers he has answered and for his Help.
Any time, any day, it is a good time for praise, thanksgiving, and forgiveness-but especially so when the heat of the day still lingers and our souls are weary. Refresh yourself in the lord before you enter the final hours of your day....
