There is something peaceful in a world of caos about a coffee house afternoon. Its time well spent taking a step out of the reality of the world’s issues which wait outside.You can enter in with a rush of fresh breath of the wonderful aroma that gives you a little joy inside to smell.
There is a peace while sitting in a room with a cushy couch, cozy music in the background and soothe cup of Joe by your side while you surf the internet, people watch, read, or just stare at that pretend fire place in the corner.
There are a few things in life you just can't cut out when there is a budget you are keeping to. One of those is that cup of Joe at a coffee house.
For the job seeker without a office to go to it feels like you are going someplace. You have an appointment with that office of Joe to do your daily hunt for that job you seek.
Maybe the wife can drop off that crazy 4 year old to preschool for four hours of peace. The lonely traveler and business man can find some comfort in the presence of people all around even if there to scared to strike up a conversation.
You can do it pretty inexpensively too. I have a little secret I will share. I like coffee cold sometimes yet it seems that when you order it iced or blended its twice as much as a little drip coffee.
So I order it by saying I would like the drip coffee of the day over ice and then add some cream, cinnamon and Spenda myself from the side bar. Its a little messy mixing in the cinnamon sometimes but half the price and still quite yummie.
I guess there really isn't an point to my observation other than there are few places in this life we can get a little time away to have some peace. Peace comes at small price in the coffee house but maybe it's even less expensive at a place of worship.
Looking for that peace in the places with wireless internet and some coffee can work for a little bit but for that lasting peace you really have to look up. You have to look up to see there is a God who can give you that peace you find in whatever sanctuary you have been going to for a place of rescue.
You can go to the bar, the coffee house, the restaurant, or hide at home but that peace is temporary and you have to wonder out sometime to the real world. God provides a lasting peace for when you walk out of the coffee house you can still feel a bit like you are in still in it.
It's really hard to trust God when the world seems so grey sometimes but there is something beautiful in the sunny days God has provided that can bring you hope of a future He provides.
Even if the sky is grey today I believe in the rainbow because I have seen it before. I know it will come again. I trust in God that the sun will shine again and believe in the God who made it all for me.
I've got peace like a river, I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul. In my soul.
Fruit: Peace
Song in my head: Peace like a river
Verse: Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God...

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
He gives us a peace that not only is not of this world-but a peace that doesn't perish and that isn't fleeting and that isn't given with something expected in return! It is a peace that calms our fears, a peace that fills our hearts so full that no trouble can over whelm it.
This is the same subject I am working a blog on right now! =) funny Though it will not be published until I'm done with the hammer series.
