I enjoyed hearing how you came about this devotional through Linda's mom's giveaway, what a special treat to enjoy! I have so many devotionals, I couldn't even begin to name all of them, which I rotate through. My current favorites are Guideposts 2021, gifted to me by a friend, My Utmost for His Highest and Streams in the Desert. I love the classic devotionals. Mornings with the Lord are just the best way to start your day!

Living on a ranch, certainly the animals should be your first priority, and I'm sure you're communing with God while you care for them and their needs.

I get my "God time" in during the hours just before sunrise; then the livestock and other animals. About that time, my "Gracie" awakes and I can enjoy another cup of coffee while she sips her first. Then it's time for "Mel's Diner" as she calls it when I whip up my breakfast. Thank you for sharing your morning traditions with us my friend. God's blessings.J.D.

I can imagine it being a really beautiful way to have breakfast...with God!! Our morning is similar...we get up fairly early, usually before 6 am, get our coffee (hubby) tea (me), and we both check our emails and blogs, etc. while we sip our hot drinks. Then we sit down together and read our morning devotions together out loud, using a devotional guide and the Bible. After that we have breakfast and from there on we can start our day. I love this routine and am so happy we are both retired and can enjoy this time together. It is the best way to start the day..."Breakfast with God", or even Morning Devotions before breakfast...all the same idea, and a blessing. What a gift!!Pamela M.
