Iced Tea

 

Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 202:  Today, I am grateful for iced tea.           

I grew up with iced tea and lemonade on the table at every meal. Dad liked to mix them long before it was "cool." Mama preferred tea.       

I have a few favorite teas. No rule says I have to pick just one. "Passion" from Tazo is one of them. It is so flavorful and naturally sweet. I sometimes drink it after dinner or before bed. It is delicious iced.     

This week is heating up. Let's get prepared. Hydrate well. Water is best, but if you have trouble getting water down - choose a fun herbal tea and ice it. Some have health benefits, too.     

Clean water that is safe to drink is a blessing many live without. Do we pause to appreciate the gift?             

To be able to add a few tea bags to step up the flavor is a quick pick-me-up when the temperatures are on the rise. We have an abundance of good things to keep us hydrated.                               

"How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light." Psalm 36:7-9

We drink for life... we drink with delight... we find refuge in the shadow of his wings. 

Today, I am grateful for iced tea.
