new day dawning

as I sit here in the pre dawn hours, I find myself thinking about what the day will bring. I just had a bowl of fruit loops(guilty pleasure) without another little mouth trying to steal a bite. I admit I enjoyed every loop, but left the remaining "sweet milk" in the bottom of the bowl. I just cannot bring my self to tip up the bowl and drink or spoon every drop into my mouth. this is the kids favorite part of a morning bowl of cereal. I know that this may sound a bit strange to some, but on this new endeavor of mine I find myself comparing this to what God has in store....we taste of what we can easily access, but the really good stuff we just leave behind because we got what we thought we needed because it was just that "easy". we fed ourself with what was on top but failed to get the "bottom". hmmm I wonder if once we got a taste of that what more fulfillment we would get? would our stomach/heart be full, or like the kids want another bowl?
I still do not want the milk in the bottom of the bowl, but I do want to be full of what God has in store for me. My Moms favorite verse in the bible is Psalms 34:8..."Oh, taste and see that the LORD is GOOD......"

So very true. We do only see the obvious most times...perhaps because we are lazy, perhaps because we are busy.....look deeper!

Bravo.....amazingly alert for early morning my friend!
