Every afternoon around 2:00, when my busy little guy is down for his nap, I am very tempted to power through my list of chores that still need to be accomplished. But I’ve found that no matter how many chores I do there will always be more and if I don’t take time to stop and have a little quiet time, I have no energy left by the time Aaron gets home. We all have different energy levels but for me, I’ve been learning to practice self-control by ignoring my list on the counter and instead lighting a candle, brewing myself a cup of tea and sitting down with my bible, a book or magazine and taking an afternoon respite.

But not just any tea – it has to be Vanilla Chai with a little cream and sugar!

This, of course, isn’t feasible every day but when I do, I feel so recharged afterwards that I think I get three times as much done!
