🌿 Introduction
Evenings are when the garden quiets, and so do I. Chamomile tea has long been my companion in these hours—fragrant, gentle, and calming. Sweetened with honey, it feels like a small blessing at the close of a day, a reminder to rest in God’s steady presence.
This isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual, a way to breathe deeply, set aside the weight of the day, and be held in peace.
