Very dramatic answer to prayer! Praise the Lord! He must really be using your sacrifices of tea drinking.
Yes, lol. My day to day addiction to Tea is over, for now, but I still reach for it in a crisis. It was either going to be Tea or alcohol, so I guess Tea was the lesser of two evils! In New Zealand, we were raised to believe Tea was the cure of all ills, because so many of us come from English, Irish and Scots. Whenever there is an emotional upset, we love to share a cup of tea with a kind person who will talk us through what ever it is we are going through. You could say its an emotionally charged ritual, and the sound of the kettle boiling is enough to calm the soul. But because we then lived through the earthquakes, and sometimes we needed Tea then, but could not have it, ( because the power was off, or the water wasn't running, etc.) our dependence on Tea then became a further cause for anxiety.
I totally get this. I come from Scots Irish/English stock and I jokingly call tea "Irish penicillin" because it was always comforting whe n I was a child. Always made everything better. Nowadays I feel bereft without coffee. Trying to work up the courage to give it up for Lent.
Never a truer word spoken! I stood still because I was so weak from the shock of what had happened in my workplace, I went onto Auto Pilot. And God has delivered me. I am walking around rejoicing in the power of prayer. It was also the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, whom I have had a special devotion to for many years.
