Coffee is not my cup of tea. I don’t like it. Water, milk, and tea are. I enjoy all three.

Not my cup of tea refers to anything I don’t like.

I don’t want or enjoy:

• Its taste
• How it looks
• Spending time with it

Other items on my dislike list include:

• Lobster
• Video games
• Poison ivy

Something is my cup of tea if I like it.

Items on that list include:

• Chocolate
• Reading
• Walking
• Traveling off the beaten path
• Writing

My likes may differ from yours.

That makes life more interesting. Don’t you agree?

Whatever is or is not your cup of tea, I pray your cup runs over with God’s blessings.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV).
