Breakfast With God

7/24/26 - 5:04 a.m. - 66 degrees. I can hear the thundering of heavy metal resonating through the forest. I sit alone in darkness with God and the soft tropical wind that seems to talk to me. I hear it rustling through the leaves of the tall oak trees. A gust of wind comes, and the tops of the trees sway with its music, but the fir tree in front of me stands quiet and unshaken. Like many of us who stand quiet and still through the raptures of life. It is only because of God's strength that this is possible.

5:15 Sitting in my rocker on my small redwood porch, I begin my conversation with God and include my gratitude for all he has given me and for always being with me. During my prayers, I begin to feel a presence. I look up into the big, soulful eyes of a beautiful doe standing only inches from me, and alongside her were two of her newest babies, spots and all. I guess she thought that if she stared at me long enough, I would feed her, and she was right.

Once again, I hear the 5:15 train thundering through the forest. My thoughts go to one of my clients whose gentle drawings of nature and wildlife express the love and tenderness God has for his creatures. The drawing he gave me was that of a wolf lying down with a lamb. This client states he has no real belief in God, yet his drawings say something else.

Isaiah 11:6 "The wolf will lie down with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them." This speaks of the second coming of Jesus, when there will be peace on earth and no more sorrow or pain.

Until next time with Breakfast with God.
