Breakfast with God

5::15 a.m. 12/26/25 21 degrees. Christmas is over, but the spirit lives on. I am surrounded by darkness. However, I am still warm sitting on my rocker underneath the overhang on my small front porch. The wind blows hard and knocks at my frame, an eerie feeling, but welcome still.

Death is on my mind this morning. I wrestle with wanting to be with my Father ( God) and the fear of the unknown. I know that as long as I continue this journey, one day the fear will be gone.

5:30 a.m. train sounds through the darkness. The Fir tree wrestles in anticipation of the snow to come, which brings both beauty and danger at the same time, very much like my concern with death.

It has been a beautiful, peaceful Halliday. I know that for many of you it has been a difficult one. I hope there was at least one moment when you could look to Jesus and find peace.

5:39 a.m. I sip my coffee, which is barely warm, and read the next chapter of the bible and talk with God. I thank him for all the blessings he has bestowed upon me, including the valleys that have helped me to be the person I am today. I find it interesting that the chapter I have read today says that we are all given new bodies when we die and that the old, tiered bodies are cast away. We are given new spiritual bodies. I find comfort in this.

6:00 a.m. There is not a sound. The wildlife have not awakened, perhaps hibernating in anticipation of what they know is about to come. Nature is a solid prediction of the unknown..

Until next time in Breakfast with God
