For me it's a Snickers bar while having hot, black coffee...Mmmmm, good pick me up!
A Hershey's chocolate bar while having hot tea....Mmmmmm, but I'd would rather have the Snickers bar with black coffee.
Sorry, everyone, those other cold coffees with different flavors and milk, or tea with milk doesn't do it for me.

I love a good, dry cappuccino. It's got to be dry, that way I can swirl the foam around the side of the cup. A wet cappuccino is just a latte, and if I wanted a latte, I'd order one, but I didn't order one -- I wanted a cappuccino, so there you go.
And it needs two shots of espresso and chocolate shavings on top. A good biscotti along side.
That's how you do it!
My family get-togethers always has coffee on hand to go with the cake and other goodies for dessert. And it doesn't matter what time of the year. As new members of the family married into the family, they often would remark, "How can you people drink hot coffee in the summer time??!!??" We just laugh. My dad would ALWAYS have coffee on hand at these things and we just have to have it. Tradition I guess.
And Bob, that snickers and coffee sounds good right now.

Good morning, dear brothers and sisters,
I hope this morning finds you in peace and joy. Today, I would like to share a parable I recently read—it reminded me of the importance of patience and the weight our words can carry.
The Parable of Patience
There was once a young man with a bad temper. His father handed him a bag full of nails and told him to hammer a nail into the garden gate every time he lost his patience or argued with someone.
On the first day, the young man hammered 37 nails into the gate. Over the next few days, he learned to control himself, reducing the number of nails he had to hammer. Eventually, he realized that it was easier to control his temper than to keep driving nails into the gate.
Finally, the day came when he did not hammer a single nail. He went to his father and shared the good news. His father then gave him a new task—to pull out one nail from the gate for every day he remained patient.
In time, all the nails were removed. When the young man proudly told his father, the father took him to the gate and said:
"My son, you have done well, but look at the holes left behind. This gate will never be the same. When you argue with someone and say hurtful things, you leave wounds just like these. Just as our actions can harm others, so too can our words, sometimes cutting even deeper than a physical wound. You can stab a person with a knife and later remove it, but the wound remains. No matter how many times you ask for forgiveness, the scar will stay."
This story on how careful we must be with our words, for they can leave lasting marks on the hearts of others. May we all strive to be patient, gentle, and mindful of what we say.
May the Lord bless and guide you today and always.
In Christ,
Yurii

Good morning, Yurii;
It's 850am and while I'm enjoying my good morning coffee, I'm reading The Parable of Patience. I was blessed to read how the young man's father mentored his son on the lessons, how impatience and anger can lead to saying hurtful things.
When I was 9 years old I wanted to quit the little league team I was playing on because it was my first year in organized ball and was not a good player, and our team was playing poor baseball. My Dad listened to me carefully and then he calmly told me that if I quit, I may be walking away from a poor team but I'm also letting my teammates down. He also said that if I get into the habit of quitting it's a hard habit to break.
I didn't think of it that way but I finished the season with my team. Both lessons sunk in and stayed with me. There's nothing wrong with revisiting our lessons from the past. I feel it helps me remain alert in my surroundings today.
Almost 60 years later I pass on what my Dad taught me when similar situations arise with young men and women. Or, whether letting down the guard of the heart and tongue toward others because of anger or impatience, quitting on a whim, making rash decisions or exposing a bruised ego or pride;
it's a relief to know that God will help us by sending his reinforcements to mentor us while providing His Word to guide us in every situation. God knows ahead of our lives the circumstances that arise and is consistently there for us. Only God can do that.
I am inspired by 1 Corinthians 1:10 and will paraphrase; I strive to be in accord with my brothers and sisters, to avoid division and be in one in mind and judgment. This passage is far from easy but remembering the lesson my Dad shared gives me every reason to hang in there and apply it for the Lord's glory.
God bless you, Yurii. Let us all keep each other in prayer.
Bob
Good morning, Bob,
Thank you for sharing such a meaningful story from your childhood. Your father’s wisdom clearly left a deep and lasting impression, and I appreciate how you continue to pass on those lessons to others.
Indeed, the habits we form—whether patience or perseverance—shape us in ways we may not fully realize at the time. Your words remind me that God places the right people in our lives to mentor and guide us, just as He uses us to do the same for others. What a beautiful reflection of His care and providence!
I also love your reference to 1 Corinthians 1:10. Striving for unity, patience, and understanding is a lifelong pursuit, and as you said, not always an easy one. But with God’s help and the encouragement of our brothers and sisters in Christ, we can keep pressing forward.
May the Lord bless you, Bob, and continue to use your words and experiences to inspire those around you. And yes, let us always keep one another in prayer!
In Christ,
Yurii
Good morning, Cosia,
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, our words carry great power, and it’s a blessing to be reminded to choose them with care and love.
May the Lord guide us all to speak with wisdom and bring peace to those around us.
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed day as well!
In Christ,
Yurii
Good evening, Cosia and Yurii;
Notice how I like to address more than one person at a time? I like to sit with two or more while drinking coffee and have these kinds of conversations.
As Cosia was sharing, when we "think peace" it takes discipline and in time God builds us inwardly (Holy Spirit) with a foundation of peace. We think more clearly and can convey our thoughts of what we want to say but receive openly, in peace.
It doesn't work all the time, because only God is perfect so when we fall short, as Yurii said, we "keep pressing on." This also takes discipline.
One time I was at a party bobbing for apples. Well, when it was my friend's turn he didn't have confidence so I encouraged him to bobinfaith.
