Breakfast with God

Embracing God's Presence: A morning reflection

Sitting Quiet

4:49 - 33degees - 1/8/26. I sit in my old rocker underneath the overhang of my small redwood porch. The still large moon shines meaningfully through the pines. My Cedar Fir stands tall and glorious with her branches light and soft, swaying gently in the early morning darkness. All the creatures of nature seem to be still asleep. I sit in complete darkness and quiet with an occasional car passing my driveway on its way home from the late shift or on its way to the early shift.

I sip my coffee and thank God for all the prayers he has answered this past week, and wonder why I am so lucky. It brings me such peace and joy to watch him work in my life and in the lives of my clients as well.

There is no movement this morning, not even a snap of a twig or a rustling of a leaf. There is complete stillness in which I sit back in my rocker and know that he is God. I imagine Jesus sitting in the beige lounge across from me under the fir tree and wonder if I will be able to sit with him in Heaven and have coffee.

5:03 train looms out through the forest with its familiar sound, bringing me back to earlier years when I lived next to them for a while, but always near them. Perhaps that's why I love their lonely, sad cry of the night.

I am so lucky to sit here, clothed in God's love. It's as if all of nature is wrapping its arms around me. I hope that all of you will be able to find some time to sit quiet and know that he is God and loves you dearly.

I read the next chapter of the Bible. I am almost to the end and have come to realize that unless you read the Bible in completeion that you will really have no true comprehension of it. The Bible tells a story from beginning to end. You cannot take a verse out of the middle and try to make it mean something, for the Bible is a true story that builds on itself and must be read in its entirety. Very much like our lives, which build on themselves also. The end result is up to us and the choices we make. We can still write a new story; we do not have to stick with the old.

Until next time with: Breakfast with God.
