Friends Warm The Heart


Hello!  Today I'd love to share with you a sweet little tea set that a very dear friend gave to me.   

Friendship is one of the most precious gifts from the Lord Jesus.  
Whether you are far away from each other or right next door, these relationships bring something special and "warming" to our hearts. 


This sweet tea pot has a well for tea and it fits a lot so that you can keep adding hot water for many cups of tea!  Or if you just like yours super strong.

I love the floral top to the tea pot! 


Here is a shot of the first tea that I put in the well.  Organic peppermint leaves and dried chamomile flowers from my garden. 

A nice gentle soothing tea.

For isn't friendship like that.  A safe place where we can be ourselves and just relax in each other's company.  To laugh, or cry, or just share our lives together.


Here is a shot of the set before I started to enjoy my fresh steeped tea.
I love the reflection of the lace curtain in the tea.  


When I think of friends, these verses come to mind.

Proverbs 18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."
John 15:12-15 " This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

In it all the Lord Jesus is the closest friend that we could ever have.  

What a great treasure it is when the Lord brings people into our lives that we can have true deep friendships with.  

For the friends in my life I am blessed! God is good! 

Thank you for dropping by! 
Praying the Lord has blessed you with true dear friends.

    What a beautiful teapot and cup! And I enjoyed your lovely words about friendship too and the scriptures you shared. I love the little well in the teapot that means you can just add more water if you'd like more hot tea. A beautiful reflection from your heart to start my day :)

    What a pretty teapot! Glass teapots are so sparkly and pretty ;)
    Very nice thoughts and scriptures on friendship Jennifer. Although friends have no blood ties, they should be treated as well as family members I think.

    That IS beautiful! I've not seen the clear pot with the ceramic insert like that - usually it's all clear and not nearly as pretty as yours! What a wonderful gift!

    Hello, What a sweet gift! You are a dear and kind woman and I have been lifting you and yours up in prayer. I think that is what I love about friendships from the Lord is knowing we are praying for one another!
    I know you will get much use out of that gift and have it for years to come!
    Hugs, Roxy
