"They" say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Today, it was true for me. I battled rain, slush, bad directions and road construction to travel 30 miles just for a breakfast date with a dear friend. And it was worth it!
Living just an hour away from each other, it shouldn't be so hard to reconnect once in awhile, but it is. Both of us have jobs and kids and slews of activities. Our calendars alone would make most moms want to cringe - but try putting them together and its downright laughable. Despite the challenge, we were determined to carve out our own niche time together. We sacrificed a lazy Saturday morning, forgoing that much needed half hour more of sleep. We sacrificed morning snuggles with our spouses and kids. We sacrificed extra mileage and gas to meet half way between our two towns. That's just what friends do. When you're important to someone, you make time to spend with them.
I wonder how God feels, when we can make this kind of sacrifice for each other, but won't do it for Him. How many Saturdays (or weekdays for that matter) do I roll over and decide not to get up early this morning. We move around our schedules for sporting events, for kids practices, or even to help a hurting friend. But, when do we move around our schedule to make sure that have time for God?
I am guilty of this. Often.
I know God understands our hectic schedules. He is patient. He does not condemn. He just wants to spend time with us. And when we do, He is always waiting with open arms, and we are never disappointed.
Lets make a breakfast date with God. Sacrifice a little of our day in order to communicate with Him. He sacrificed everything for us!
