Snowflake


YOU’RE LIKE A SNOWFLAKE

Snowflakes are incredibly beautiful
and upon close inspection, although
they are seem the same, all we
wonderfully unique.

God created snowflakes as
nature’s reminder to us, that,
Although in many ways
we are the same, we too are
incredibly Beautiful and Unique!



All snowflakes have six uniquely symmetrical arms.


No two snowflakes are alike just like people.


Each of us is special. There's no one else like us anywhere in the world. Even people who look alike, such as identical twins, are different inside. We're like snowflakes. Did you know that no two snowflakes are alike?


Just like the snowflakes, we're all different. We all have things that make us special.


DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO BE JUST LIKE YOU
No two humans have the same fingerprints and there are no two snowflakes alike.

Each Christian is like Jesus in the world. We are His legs, arms, eyes and ears, etc. Each one of us has a very important role to play in God's plan. If we were all alike, how could God gather all
His children back into His kingdom? Not all of us can be preachers, doctors, missionaries, gardeners, or teachers. God gave us each unique gifts and qualities and He intends for us to use the ones He gave us and no one else's.

You are uniquely you and no one else. Your qualities and gifts are no better or no less than your fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord.


Romans 12:3-8 - Because God has given me a special gift, I have something to say to everyone among you. Do not think you are better than you are. You must decide what you really are by the amount of faith God has given you. Each one of us has a body with many parts, and these parts all have different uses. In the same way, we are many, but in Christ we are all one body. Each one is a part of that body, and each part belongs to all the other parts. We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us. The person who has the gift of prophecy should use that gift in agreement with the faith. Anyone who has the gift of serving should serve. Anyone who has the gift of teaching should teach. Whoever has the gift of encouraging others should encourage. Whoever has the gift of giving to others should give freely. Anyone who has the gift of being a leader should try hard when he leads. Whoever has the gift of showing mercy to others should do so with joy.

National Hot Tea month

Hot Tea in Dead Winter tea party

Come and join me to celebrate National Hot Tea month

January is National Hot Tea Month. As many of you know my heart does the happy dance. I love hot tea. I thought I would share some interesting facts I have discovered about the precious teacup. So sit back and have a cuppa with me.
Mo

Copied from the website.

It's time to set the record straight so the poets, painters, and musicians among us can begin our immortalization of the teacup!

- If standing, you must lift the saucer with the teacup when drinking.
If seated, you can simply pick up the cup.

- Pinkies should not be extended (despite what everyone wants to believe.)

- A teacup is not held with both hands. Rather you slip your index finger through the handle and placing your thumb on the top of the handle.

- Do not lift a tea cup while wearing gloves.

- No making music! Gently swish your spoon back and forth in the middle of the cup.

- Do not leave your spoon in the cup, but place it on the saucer behind the cup, preferably with the handle of the spoon facing the same direction as the hand of the cup.

- Do not swirl the tea in your cup.

- A cup of tea is not meant to be a thirst quencher or a means to wash down bites of food; it is to be sipped. (This can prove difficult if you've been served a very dry scone!)

- No looking at others over your teacup. Look into the cup as you drink.

- Fill teacups only 3/4 full.

- If you've been given a tea bag and not a small plate or saucer to put your used tea bag upon, it is appropriate to ask for one. Putting wet tea bag on your saucer will only cause you troublesome dripping a few moments down the road.

- Regarding the milk or tea first controversy - according to current American etiquette - it's the tea.

- Use milk sparingly at the tea table, or as Victorian mothers were said to admonish their daughters, "You might be taken for the daughter of a dairy maid."

- And lastly! When toasting, one does not actually clink the teacups (or any glasses for that matter). This was done in the Middle Ages to spill a bit of what had been poured into your cup into another's so you could be sure you were not being poisoned. Unless you find yourself at a surreal Agatha Christie murder mystery/tea, no clinking of cups!
