Last week's adventures took me on journeys fun and mysterious. Join me for another fun podcast of Tea Time Tuesday!

Today's word is discernment: the insight to understand what is true to navigate life in wisdom.

Join me today on my podcast as I talk about becoming a Good Samaritan in the normal moments of your life, cultivating compassion for those who need sympathy.

Instruction teaches one how to do something, how to apply wisdom and skill to life and the steps to do something. It provides practical steps to take.

This week, I have been pondering how commitments, vows, and dedications of words hold us faithful to ideals we have committed to. Join me on Tea time Tuesday as I ponder the importance of making commitments to God, to review them, to live by them.

Today I will share about how life has been — beautiful and wonderful amidst many mistakes, many flaws, many immature moments. Yet, God's grace is like a beautiful cloth that covers the scars on my well-beloved old tables. His love and grace cover my imperfections.

All of us need wisdom every day. Jesus tells us to worship him with our minds — to love Him with our minds. The ability to think biblically is no small matter in a world that shouts to us with values that are worldly, pumping out lies about life, family, and morality, in thousands of ways every day.

When tea time becomes a ritual, it enables us to see greatness in even the small things.

Words become ways to influence a child when they work themselves into a child's inner being. They shape their worldview, systems of theology, ways of relationships, view of themselves, self-image, and so much more.
