I was so excited to read on an insert in my new box of tea that 2 cups of brewed (not instant) tea can be considered one serving of fruits and vegetables!!!!
Surely I'm not the only one who has trouble getting all five recommended servings into my kids. Now I can start counting tea as one of them. (Not all of them--details here.)
And they think tea is a treat!

i just sent this to my mom - a hot tea drinker like no other! I've never heard that before, and was really surprised. Who knew? Carrots, tea, whatever it's all the same. Huh!
"Those seeking the life of the spirit should be cheerful and free, and not neglect recreation. Married people must act in conformity with their vocation--but their progress will of necessity be but the pace of a hen." --Teresa of Avila
"Some things God can teach us only very slowly, at the pace of walking, the speed of life." --Arthur Paul Boers, The Way Is Made by Walking
What does a hen do all day? Nothing but walk about in endless circles, pecking at this or that--yet she is one of the most creative and productive of God's creatures. Though my days may take me in circles, I pray for the daily fruitfulness of a hen as I nurture the four boys and two girls God has given us.
