Good evening.
Biggest Loser night...did I lose or did I win??? Well I did neither... I am exactly where I was last week, but I was sweating it...I was thinking I might be up a little as I have not been as diligent this week in watching what I eat, dang those butterscotch krinkle treats!!! So this week I get a big fat ~~~0~~~
Tonight, I sit in prayer asking God to bless you and the stress that you are carrying around! I know this week is a stress filled one with the house cleaning, the meal prep, the cooking, the company, the...the...the...! Father tilt our chins toward you as a father does a child and let us know that we do not have to be perfect, we do not have to try to please everyone, the one who is most important in our "pleasing" is you father. Give us the knowledge that this holiday is a celebration of Thanksgiving for what we have in our lives, it is more important to give thanks and enjoy family and friends..not one will remember the food that was served years from now but they will remember who was there and how much enjoyment was served up! I asked God to continue to bless and comfort those struggling with life this night, that they feel his comforting arms around them and the love that is being showered over them. Allow them calm and peace Lord with no fear nor pain. I asked him to continue to bless each of us with faith and hope and to give us the will to never give up no matter how big our storm. In finishing my prayer I sealed it up and lifted it to our savior Jesus Christ for special delivery to our Father in Heaven. Amen.
Tonight I came across a wonderful little story and was impressed by its message, I love the idea and the meaning behind it. I pray you like it as I did and that you will share your thoughts with me in the comment section below. Your feedback is so much appreciated! I love you and thank you for spending time with me each evening! God bless you.

Anyone for a Nice Cup of Tea?
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired.
During their visit the conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests tea, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of tea and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the tea. When all the alumni had a cup of tea in hand, the professor said:
"Notice that all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the tea. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was tea, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups.... and then you began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the tea; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life. The type of cup one has does not define, nor change the quality of life a person lives. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the tea. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly...... And enjoy your tea.
