Having been raised in Belfast Northern Ireland I know how true this quote is to my upbringing. In Belfast “ a cup of tea is the answer to anything.” I don’t know if it is actually the cup of tea or the sociability of chatting to someone, and just sharing life, for a problem shared is a problem halved. Perhaps this is where the quote originated “Where there is a cup of tea there is hope.”

I think my fellow Ulster man and scholar, C.S.Lewis, who was born and raised in Belfast, thought the same way for he has been known to have said “ No cup of tea is ever big enough or book long enough to satisfy me.” 
As believers we all know that Christ is our hope, yet fellowship around a nice wee cup of tea can edify the soul and build our hope in Him.Take the time for a cup of tea with someone today and be His Hand extended to encourage, comfort and bring hope.

2 Corinthians 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
