Ahhh… coffee. That most important start-of-the-day anti-murdery juicy-juice. First I drink the coffee, then I do the things. No coffee, no workee! The aroma of a pot of coffee brewing is magnificent and that first sip subconsciously emits a big “ahhh!”
Coffee is obviously my morning beverage of choice and perhaps you have a different drink of preference. As I sit and slowly sip my first cup of hot coffee I love to look out across the lake and take in the beauty around me. This allows me to ease into my day and start it off in a positive light.
Simultaneously with coffee time, or immediately following, comes my devotion and prayer time. Much more precious than a cup of coffee is to soak in the Word of the Lord and spend time with Him. I am not ashamed of my relationship with Jesus but I wish I found it as easy to talk about Him with others as it is to talk about coffee. I need to work on that!
