A Proper Tea
"Perhaps you would like some tea, as soon as it can be got." They both declared they should prefer it to anything." – Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards. ~A.A. Milne
Tea should be taken in solitude. ~C.S. Lewis
Tea is a cup of life. ~Author Unknown
There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ~Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me. ~C.S. Lewis
I love these quotes. When my granddaughter joined me for tea, I told her all the ways of a Proper Tea.

My Anchor Man
"Now this is the commandment, the statues and the rules that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it. that you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statures and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long. " Deuteronomy 6: 1-2
Once, when I was driving, I heard a message on the radio. It was about the Anchor Man. The more I listened to this program, I was hearing about my Anchor Man.
My admiration goes beyond understanding. I've seen this walked out in the life of my own Anchor Man. A man of integrity and honesty and faithfulness.
God always has His men. He always has a remnant of faithful men who love God and are anchored on Jesus Christ.
An Anchor man is a man who will have no other gods before them.
Men who will not make graven images. They love the Lord their God with all of their heart, soul and mind.
Men who will not take the Lord's name in vain.
Men who are motivated to work, but not so much that they won't take one day of rest.
Men who honor their fathers and mothers, and are helping to care for them.
Men who will not murder.
Men who will not steal things, whether it is possessions or someone's character.
Men who will not bear false witness.
Men who are a one-woman man.
Men who do not covet but are content and thankful for the blessings God has given them.
I am thankful for the covenant relationship I have with my Anchor Man. I have been blessed to learn from this man who places Christ first in his life every single day.
And today I am wishing him a Happy Birthday!

A Choice Considered
A Choice Considered by Tracie Peterson takes place in Cheyenne Wyoming in 1868.
The daughter of a railroad man, she longs for a home of her own. Melody Doyle has followed her father as he helps built the railroad that will connect the east to the west. Her father agrees to let her stay in Cheyenne, but only if she marries. Charles Decker, son of the banker, arrives in Cheyenne to replace his ailing brother. Although he desires to respect and honor his fathers wishes, he feels called to be a teacher.
Melody's Pa devices a plan to seek out a husband for Melody by advertising her need of a husband. Which doesn't go exactly as planned. Clancy is a wise and Godly man, and only wants the best for his only daughter.
The story is heart warming bitter sweet and will leave you weeping. A Choice Considered is a clean faith filled story.
I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
