“Nuff said!!”

Friday


We had been in Turkey for almost two weeks, traveling around the country side, when we spotted a Starbucks Coffee shop. It was the first one we had seen. Lisa was getting tired of Turkish coffee and I hadn’t had hot chocolate since leaving the states. “Stop” shouted Lisa. The driver pulled in to the rest area and while others went to get cold drinks in the 80 plus degree weather, Lisa and I headed over for our coffee and hot chocolate! It was crazy but it was something familiar, something comforting, something of home.
How many of us react that way when we’ve not been to church for few weeks or haven’t had a chance to read the Bible for a while? Lent is a time for us to get familiar with the scriptures, to find the comfort that they bring, to recognize that we do have a home within them.
How are our commitments during Lent going? Are we experiencing the joy that God intends for us when we spend time with the Lord? There is something truly sweet when we are able to sip, or gulp, of the goodness that flows so freely from God to each of us. How about if we “stop” what we are doing today, on the road of life, and get a good taste of what God is serving! It’s hot stuff for certain!!! Nuff said!!!
