ingenuiTEA

12/15/10 Angie is one of my most ingenuous friends so it stands to reason that when it comes to gift giving she overflows with cleverness. Plus, she adds the personal element. Having opened her gift at school, I just had to try it out when I got home.

It’s an ingenuiTEA, the ingenuous teapot. How clever is that!!

It brews my loose tea in the water that can be heated right inside the cup and then will only dispense it when it’s sitting on a teacup. Otherwise it sits up on little “feet.” It’s a great gift for a tea lover who cherishes convenience, especially in the hours before dawn.

ingenuiTEA, especially in gift giving, is not my “cup of tea” or area of giftedness but I can certainly recognize it in others. They are thoughtful, clever, creative, resourceful, and original. Just plain ole good gift givers, like Angie---giving in both tangible gifts and in selfless giving of their time and energy.

God gives good gifts to all of us. He is the initiator of all ingenuity. He gives me family & friends and blog readers who shower me with gifts and encouragement. He gave His son Jesus. What an ingenuous gift!

Every good and perfect gift is from above, (James 1:17)
