Coffee. I LOVE coffee. Those of you who know me, know that I can drink coffee any time of the day and I need at least 3 cups a day. Today, I went to JRA testing and did a taste test on coffee. How perfect is that? I got paid to drink my favorite drink. At least...that's what I thought!
You have no idea how hard it is to drink a cup of coffee when you don't get to add in your own cream or sugar. They just put in the standard cream and 2 sugars. It was so hard to drink 1/2 a cup of coffee that just wasn't that good. Not to mention, you only get to eat a cracker with each cup! So, after drinking 4 cups of coffee, I realized that I don't really like coffee...but I like the non-dairy cream that goes with it (and the pastry that I usually pick too). How many calories could I save each day but not drinking coffee?
Ah. Such is life. I think that my life is like coffee. I really do love my life now. I love my husband, I love my kids (when they don't fight and behave like angels) and I love my daily life (Days of our Lives at 1:00 pm everyday!). It's good. But, without God (the non-dairy cream), it's just not that good and it's not enjoyable or even bearable. I can take a few sips but I can't down the whole cup. I need to remember to mix God into my life...or else, something is just missing.
So, pick up that daily devotional and add it into your life because it's the secret ingredient that you realize that you really love. It's not the coffee but the cream and sugar.
