Inhaling His Whispers of Rich Grace

 Teatime with Jesus - Conversations tucked in the daily moments of the day John 4:10,13 - Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me to drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."  Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

Tea with Jesus conversations that I write will be a glimpse of some of these bits of my day.  So take from them what inspires you and...
