LIL TEA SHOP

The alarm rang..It was still dark outside; a cold winter morning! I had been in bed for the past two days. I had barely recovered from my sickness. I had to go force myself to go to work. I had no leaves left. I had no choice since I was handling a high priority project. There was no turning back. I took some time to prepare food for my husband. I sent him off to work by 6 a.m. I was too tired. My body was still sick. I could hardly breathe. I had to catch the bus at 6:30 a.m. I rushed and got dressed. I had no time to have breakfast or sip a cup of coffee. I was still drowsy from the last nights medication. I left home to catch the bus. I was in such a hurry. It was getting late. I couldn't walk fast. My throat was too dry. I wanted water. I then remembered the verse "As the deer panth for the waters so my soul longs after you". I was like a deer. My feet was failing. There were no shops open. I was desperately in need of something to drink. There used to be a lil tea shop on the way. But normally it is closed in the morning. I somehow dragged myself for few steps. To my surprised the lil tea shop which normally used to be closed was open. The shop keeper was selling tea. I was super happy. The cup of tea literally saved my life. After I had tea I recovered. I felt it was God who made that shop keeper to keep his shop opened only for me. God is so good. He even takes care of lil things like "Grace needs a cup of tea". :P

The next day I saw the shop closed, I took a picture of it. Every time I see this lil shop, it reminds me of this incident.
