The first thing I do every morning, after attending to necessaries and saying my prayers, is to have coffee with the Lord. I read from scripture and other meditative works, then sit quietly and try to hear His voice, as I look out my windows at His glorious creation.

This morning, as frequently happens, I was imagining how beautiful it would be if this were a morning routine we shared. I imagined that I would be up first, spend some time alone with Him, then you would join me (and make a comment about what excellent coffee I make), and we could seek His face and voice together, discuss what was in our spirits, talk about any dreams we'd had last night, listen to what He was saying to us for today, and just sit in His presence for a while before (forgive me) the kids woke up.
