Comfort

The Republic of Tea makes a tea blend called "Comfort and Joy". I love this tea for the flavor and the name. Unfortunately it is only available at the holidays. Yes -- it tastes a lot like Christmas, but I like the idea comfort and joy in a cup all year long.

 Webster's defines comfort as -- to give strength and hope to; to ease the grief or trouble of.

 The word itself even sounds comforting. I think of comforters -- big, fluffy blankets to curl up in or under. Rest, peace, comfort.

 And then I remember the Comforter. The one Jesus promised to send to his apostles. The one He sends to us. (John 14:26 KJV). And I realize I am promised and provided with the peace of God brought by His own Comforter. 

 I am comforted.

    Dear Melanie
    I am not a big tea drinker, but I just love coffee. In South Africa we call coffee "boeretroos". Roughly translated it means "comfort for a farmer". Just like your tea, a cup of coffee with hot milk has that magic qualities of comfort!!
    Blessings
