Recently I've been thinking about relationships and how they work. Mostly I've looked at the Father and the Son's relationship with each other. They are so in love with one another. Everything the Father made, He created out of His Son, by His Son and for His Son. So everything we see with our eyes is something made by the Father for the Son. Why? Because God is so crazy in love with His Son, Jesus.
On the other side of the relationship, I see that Jesus said and did nothing of Himself. He only did what His Father told Him to do, and said only what His Father told Him to say. Why? Because Jesus is so crazy in love with His Father.
These are things that I have known with my mind for a long time, but suddenly I know them with my heart.
Now when I'm having someone over for coffee, I think "I want this to be the best coffee this person has ever had, because my Lord lives in her/him". "What else can I do to make this person's visit with me better?" "How can I make this person feel special?" My relationships are changing because of a revealing of Jesus to me. I see Their relationship as one I want to reflect.
Lord make me your mirror.

i love your prayer "I want this to be the best coffee this person ever had!" wow, what a perspective. i know todd bentley says to the holy spirit "i'm not going anywhere, unless you go with me." and i've started saying, "okay, what are you doing in this coffee time, Lord? because i don't want it to be just coffee. come in power." keep coming in the coffee times, Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and i just read your two posts below too. LOVE how you are finding him in the coffee and woodgrains.....i LOVE when He speaks to me through these things....recently HE spoke through stickers to me ;)......also congrats on your son's marriage!!!!!! wow! what a beautiful bride nicole is!
This is beauitful! It reminds me of John 17:26, where Jesus says to the Father, "Oh Father, the same kind of love that you have for me -would you put that kind of love in them?" How we NEED His love! Thanks for visiting and commenting on my post! Have a blessed day.

Hi Kim,
I've been browsing around your blog and visiting a few others too for a few hours now. Aimee is asleep. And why not, it is 5:30 a.m.?
I miss you guys. I miss church life. Maybe it will not be to long before I can join you for a cup of coffee, and the Lord, again.
Gloria,
I'm ready for coffee and the Lord anytime you are.
