So, read the first line of my last post ("Amazing Grace")....and I quote: "substitute teaching is just not my bag of tea."
Is that a REAL saying or did I just make that up!!? BAG OF TEA??!?!?! I think it's supposed to be CUP of tea.......
Sorry, just laughing at myself. Did you catch it too??!
I have a lot of tea analogies rolling around in my head. There is a favorite joke from Dan's dad that my kids like to re-tell about old people having dinner together (3 couples). The first man says to his wife, "Pass the sugar, Sugar."
The second guy says to his wife, "Pass the honey, Honey."
The second guy says to his wife, "Pass the honey, Honey."
The third guy, not to be outdone, says to his wife, "Pass the tea, Bag." ha ha ha.
THEN there is the ever famous "tea bag analogy" from the CHANGED INTO HIS IMAGE study I have gone through at church. It's by Jim Berg (BJU Press); I highly recommend it!!
He starts by talking about how our lives can be like a tea bag. One really doesn't know what is inside it until it is dipped into hot water; stressful, difficult tmes will reveal the contents. I have often thought of this as I faced "hard things" in my life...I have been shocked, appalled, and humbled by what has come out of the "tea bag" of my life.
Well, all this talk of tea has made me crave a sweet, warm drink. It's a rainy day here today, gray and lazy. Just what my family needs after the busy week we just had. I'm probably staying in my jammies a while longer, watching Food Network, reading blogs - THAT is my perfect cup of tea!!! :)
