A Spot of Tea

I just learned about Mill Creek Manor Tea Room in Big Bear Lake, CA a few months ago. So when we took a family trip there last week, Tiffani and I just had to pop in. We'd already eaten lunch, so we had dessert and we highly recommend the Lemon Tart Cake. They have loose teas in labeled glass canisters. They allow you to open the canisters and catch their aroma before choosing. We chose a Peach-Apricot tea, which was absolutely wonderful.

The Tea Room is beautiful and our hostess was so attentive. Can't wait to go back and experience Afternoon or High Tea! We witnessed 3 couples (Yes! Men go to Tea Houses too!) enjoying High Tea and their table was filled with a myriad of delights. We'll take our appetites!

A New Song

Psalm 40:1-5

I waited patiently for the LORD;
And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction,
out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock
making my footsteps firm.

He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will trust in the LORD.

How blessed is the man
who has made the LORD his trust,
And has not turned to the proud,
nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

Many, O LORD my God,
are the wonders which You have done,
And Your thoughts toward us;
There is none to compare with You
If I would declare and speak of them,
They would be too numerous to count.
