Elevenses Teatime

Welcome to The Elevenses Teatime

Elevenses is an 18th Century informal British teatime tradition, taken with a refreshing light snack and delightful warm tea or coffee, before lunch; like the American 10 to 15-minute work break. Unlike the familiar formal teatimes, such as, Afternoon tea, High tea and Evening tea, Elevenses is an informal teatime taken at eleven o’clock, with less frill and fuss. It’s typically taken with homemade or fresh baked goodies (savory biscuits, scones, cakes, pies, a simple warm bun or whatever you enjoy).

Elevenses has become my favorite teatime. For me, it’s not just about the tea, coffee or the light snacks. I look forward to Elevenses to garner enlightenment, inspiration and encouragement to move me through my day with a renewed energy and positive perspective; something I would like to share with you.

“You-Are-The-God-Who-Sees”

A Word of Faith Elevenses Teatime

Lord, help us to always remember to humbly repent and submit ourselves to You, in loving obedience; to trust Your plan for our lives, and to know that Your Holy Spirit lives and abides within us, to help, guide and sustain us. For, “The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry for help.” (Psalms 34:15, CSB) For, “YOU-ARE-THE-GOD-WHO-SEES!” (Gen. 16:13, NKJV) Praise God!!! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Lord, I Look to You

A Word of Faith Elevenses Teatime

“Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Embrace the Good Things

A Word of Faith Elevenses Teatime

For in the mist of all the confusion and chaos the Lord our God is doing Good things, Great and Awesome things, even eternal works that we cannot see, right now. “For now, we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” (I Corinthians 13:12)

A Special Quiet Space

AG Daily Inspiration Elevenses Teatime

Do you ever feel like taking some timeout to retreat from all the chaos in the world, just to have some peace and quiet where you can commune with the Lord? I certainly do! We all need a designated quiet space where we can retreat, be still and pray. Some people call it their “Prayer Room,” “Prayer Closet,” I call it my “Special Quiet Space.”
