Breakfast With God

9/19/26 - 4:45 - 62 degrees

Sitting in my old rocker on my small redwood porch, I am surrounded by an invisible shield. I sit in harmony with nature as I watch the branches of my tall fir tree gently stir with the touch of rain.

The darkness begins to lift, and I am reminded of God's miracles. Some say they do not see them anymore. Maybe they are not looking in the right place, or maybe they are just not seeing what is in front of their face. I see them all the time. In the lives of my family and in those around me. These are little miracles, but I have recently had the privilege to witness a big miracle in the life of someone I know personally. Sometimes people have to go through a difficult time in order to see what God is trying to show them. This is when the miracle takes place. One of our oldest hymns describes it: Amazing Grace: "I was blind, but now I see." Well, I just witnessed this miracle take place in the metamorphosis of someone I have known for years. Some prayers are not answered right away, but they are always answered in God's time

5:57 The train awakens the silence of the forest as the morning sky turns a delightful peach, and the sun prepares for her appearance, unveiling tall grey sticks with a soft emerald-green canopy. I say my prayers and thank God for all the wonders I have been privileged to witness.

6:04 I sip my coffee and take notice of the fir tree, which now looms over the deck, Large and majestic, and yet soft and gentle, very much like God.

Until next time with Breakfast with God.
