Breakfast With God

4:31 a.m. - 7/2/26 - 73 degrees and balmy. It is a lovely summer morning as I sit on my small redwood porch in my old rocking chair. The Northern Cardinal is the only one to speak this early in the morning. He sings alone, announcing a new day. Not a leaf on a tree is moving. The Fir tree stands quiet. The stillness can be felt. I say my prayers and know that God is all around me.

4:50 A strong breeze has suddenly broken the stillness. The red-winged blackbird, the Song sparrow, the red-eyed vireo, the titmouse, and the Catbird have all joined in on the music of the forest. What a glorious morning to lay down your burdens and take refuge in the peace that God sends for everyone. Mathew 6;26 states, "Look at the birds of the air, they do not plant or harvest, yet God feeds them, and we are far more valuable than they are." God will show you the way if you ask. "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you." Luke 11:9 and 10. Well, I have been knocking, and the door has been opening, but there is so much more I want to know and understand. It has been an incredible journey so far. I look forward to the rest of where it will take me.

God said, "Come to me with your eyes wide open, listen, and you will find life." Isaiah 55:3.
