A Cup of Tea

Snow falling all around as
Wind whips through the trees. 
Sun shining through the window
Warming me as I sip a cup of tea. 
I ponder life, I ponder the future,
I sit amazed at nature's beauty. 
Snow capped mountains, Dormant trees
Contrasting blues, greens and white. 
Peacefulness on a busy street. 
Gentle music, serene views, 
A book and delicious tea. 
An afternoon waning away 
With beauty and simplicity. 

On this lazy afternoon in Colorado Springs, I sit in an Orthodox Greek bookstore and coffee shop. The serenity of the views and environment bring a deep sense of peace and rest. My anxious heart wants to worry because of future uncertainty, but my mind wants to escape. I disappear into a book, sip my tea, and surrender to God. Although there are disappointments and unknowns ahead, I trust he has a plan. I trust he knows the future and what is best for me.  I trust he is leading me and my husband. Although tears may come, right now I must enjoy his moment. I must rest in God and the beauty of creation. I must enjoy my cup of tea.
