#198: Coffee

Coffee’s on!

It’s Saturday morning. You had hoped to get some extra sleep, but your kids are already running around the house. As you drag yourself out of bed and pour yourself a cup of coffee, take a moment to consider this COFFEE acronym:

C stands for Christ. Draw closer to him!
O stands for opportunity. Parenting is a privilege, even when it tests your patience.
F stands for faith. Keep Christ first in all that you do.
F also stands for family. Stick by each other through thick and thin.
E stands for eternity. Teach your kiddos to set their affections on things above.
E also stands for energy. Trust God to provide you strength to keep on keeping on.

Now take a sip. Ahhh. Isn’t that good?
