i woke up early today ... there was that slight ache to my head, telling me that i hadn’t had any coffee yesterday ...
yes, dear blog buds ... i am a coffee addict ... i know you thought i was almost perfect ... *stifles laughter* ... so this will come as a shock to you ... i need my morning coffee to jolt me into the waking world ... without it, i can become cranky and unreasonable!
this morning my body started craving java immediately!
my first waking thought was ... coffee ...
my next waking thought was a prayer ... "Lord i hope my heart tells me immediately when i haven’t had enough of you during the day ... "
"As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God." Psalm 42:1
physically my body likes coffee and misses it when i don’t have any ...
much more so ... my DESIRE is, that when i don’t have enough "God time", or prayer time ... may my spirit cry out and yearn for that living water that only God can give ...
during a busy December, we may forget Who’s birth we claim to celebrate ... we may even lobby to keep Christ in Christmas ... but way more important is keeping Christ alive in our own hearts and homes ...
so now dear friends ... i must go enjoy my last cup of coffee for the day ... as i spend time with Jesus, the best part of every day!

Coffe and I rarely meet up but I do enjoy my herbal teas to the max. Just found a new Justin Loyld cinnamon twist tea that I love.~~ 'So pants my soul' I know that hymn and verse = )...its true too, we can wander away doing the 'busy-s' of life but we suffer the thirst of a needy soul if we neglect our time with Jesus. My Bible is laying open here beside me and my eye fell on this verse Psalms 5:3...'My voice shalt thine hear in the morning, O Lord'. Saija, you have fulfilled the word of God...its blessed me to read your post and meditate on your subject for a couple of minutes...that will be carried with me through the day. Thanks = )
maggie ann ... :o) ... i love my teas in the evening ... coffee & i agree to only mix in the mornings! and i know i said i was cranky without my coffee - BUT if i spend time away from my Lord - WELL, i become the "dark saija", not fit to be around! blessings on you this FINE december day!
I feel the same way if I haven't had my Diet Coke. Interestingly, I've never tried coffee. I don't like the smell.
fred ... diet coke has caffeine in it, right? and that coffee aroma can either exhilarate or nauseate!
