and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business...(1 Thessalonians 4:11, NASB)
No humming of air conditioners. No barking dogs. No lawn mowers or blowers. No chattering of people, just squirrels.
Quietness, broken only by the occasional honking of geese overhead and enriched by by a streaming fountain and chirping of birds at the feeders. Such serenity coupled with cool morning breezes and my quiet time accoutrements defines my Tea With Thee time on the patio. Bible. Prayer list. Journal.
Such a quiet life is enhanced by time alone with the Lord in the morning time.
A quiet life, begins anew every morning as the sun breaks once again.
Tending to my own business begins with my attending to the Lord in the quietude of each new day.
Qui-TEA-ude---that state of stillness, calmness, and quiet in both my person and my place--began this morning on the patio. May it continue throughout my day!
