Monday Coffee Talk: Coffee with Jesus
This morning I’m on the porch with my coffee, and I can almost feel Jesus settling into the chair beside me — not with fanfare, but with that quiet companionship that steadies the whole porch. He doesn’t rush the moment. He simply looks at me with those kind eyes, as if to ask, “How’s your heart this morning?” The birds are tuning up their little choir,
the breeze brushes past like a soft blessing, and in that shared stillness I feel His invitation settle over me: “Come to Me, all who are weary…” It wraps around my spirit like a light blanket. And as I sip my coffee, I sense His quiet reminder that I’m not stepping into this week alone — He’s already in every place I’m going.
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Did you know that the very first coffee shops in the 1600s were called “penny universities” because, for the price of a penny, you could buy a cup of coffee and sit for hours learning from the conversations around you? A sweet reminder that good things happen when people gather with warm mugs and open hearts.
Merica is becoming a little farm girl, with chickens and baby chicks, a few cows, a horse and now rabbits. Maegan and Louie purchased two rabbits, which had a litter of baby rabbits soon after. Merica has been with them every step of the way!
I hope you have a great Monday and week ahead, may Jesus meet you in the small moments, and may
every step you take this week feel a little lighter because you started it with
Him.
Until Next Time
Mary, just the peace in this post...I felt Jesus right along with you. Thank you for that. I'm feeling him this morning too and it's the sweetest gift ever. Have a beautiful day Mary.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fortunate little girl Merica is, to grow up with sweet animals. I hope your week is off to a lovely start, Mary. hugs, MJ
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post, Mary!! I felt peace settle over me as I slowed my breathing and felt the presence of Jesus with me as well. Thank you for that!! Merica is such a pretty young woman! Gosh, I remember when she was born and look at her now!! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteTook me a second to see her hair is in hearts! 🥰
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love how you began this post. To feel the peace of Jesus with you is beyond wonderful. Merica is a little sweetheart. I'm glad she's learning to be so good with animals. You can see her beautiful heart in her smile.
ReplyDeleteHer hair. That is wonderful.
Blessings and hugs,

What a lovely post. I can feel the peace with you sitting on your porch. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a big rabbit. Love the 'hair' photo.
Dear Mary, such a wonderful post! Beautiful photos! That bunny is quite big!!! Beautiful, though. Merica is very pretty! This post is very soothing and inspiring! I feel content and at peace! God bless you, dear friend. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove this post. The peace of Christ is hard to describe, but I like the way you describe it here, "Quiet companionship that steadies the whole porch." So good.
ReplyDeleteYou can tell Merica loves those animals!
Merica is becoming such a lovely young lady. It seems she was just a toddler a little while ago. You have found the best partner to begin the day with!
ReplyDeleteActually it was her Grammy who did the hair picture! 😂😉 Good blog post mom!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even thing about you being the one who 'styled' her hair!! lol
DeleteWhat beautiful images of beautiful girls!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Penny University, but I love that concept. It makes me think of that terrific Waylon song, 'Luckenbach' ... "Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love."
Love the heart photo done with her hair! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
Hugs
