Breakfast with the Lord

This week, I have been having breakfast with the Lord. Each morning, after my Beloved has gone to work, I have about an hour or so of quiet time before the kids start waking up. I get a cup of coffee, a muffin, and the Bible and have a quiet leisurely breakfast with the Lord.

While I am feeding my body with that muffin, I am also feasting on the Word and nurturing my spirit. Those precious times of prayer and spending time with my Lord are some of the most blessed moments of my days.

I notice a difference in how my days go when I do this. I am calmer and the little things that bother me normally are not so much of a problem. It is as though by starting the day with prayer and the Scriptures, I am more conscience of the Lord and His Spirit guiding me. The little irritants of life are viewed more in their proper perspective and not as "important" as I, in my human-ness, can sometimes make them out to be.

I am so grateful that the Lord is so patient with me. His gentle guidance shows me where I need to be working in my life. As I follow the path the Lord has for me and let go of human desire to be "in control", I am finding that life goes along much smoother than if I keep trying to do things the way I want to.

What a blessing the mornings are becoming. Some days are more of a challenge to read than others. The Lord provided once again though when I was having difficulty reading the Bible even while wearing my glasses. I came across a small magnifying card (looks the size of an ID and is made of plastic) that I am using now on the days when my eyes are not as cooperative. I didn't know that we had one until I came across it while cleaning. What a tremendous blessing it is to have it. Such a little thing, but what a difference it makes.

I am glad you are discovering the joys of quiet time with the Lord ~ oh how I love my morning times with my lord too!! I especially love it when the kids are still asleep, but I have some early wakers, so sometimes I can't get that time in without a child or 2 around... but still it's precious time!

I too pour myself a hot cup a java grab a muffin and my well worn bible and head for the porch..... I love to sit out there in the morning hours when the dew is still upon the grass and the birds are singing.....

Oh what joy!

It is a blessing to spend time with our Lord and you are so right -- the days go much better when we spend that time in His word!

Blessings,
gloria
