MAY'S TEA

When you go to visit May in Aiken, and you have a cup
of tea with her, you have to brew your tea just so!
It's an art with May.....A lost art!
You heat the water and let that tea kettle sing like
crazy.The water must boil several minutes after it has
started to sing before you take it off the heat.THEN,and
only then, will May allow you to place a tea bag, or your
loose tea in the cup. You have to put a cover over the cup
and steep your tea to a deep and aromatic flavor. I don't
like mine as dark as May does, but the secret is still in the
steeping.
Sometimes, when God wants us to come out steeped in
the essence of a godly person, He may leave us in the
bitters of pain or unpleasantries longer than usual, so
that we learn certain lessons. He will steep us so that His
beauty will drift forth from us. When He is sure
we have drawn all the aroma out of the Creator that we will
need, He will withdraw us to be enjoyed as the choice morsal
He has created us to be!
