This morning I got up, thanking God for waking me. I began to thank Him for whatever I could think of. Tuned in to morning Bible Study with my MCICF Morning Crew Family. Then start to prepare breakfast for the kids. What should I make this morning? Do I even want to make breakfast? Cereal is definitely an option. As I thought about breakfast, folding the clothes, cleaning the bathrooms, applying for jobs, and bible study lessons for the kids, and many other things. My third daughter began to look in the refrigerator. She pulled out a piece of bread, butter, and went to the pantry for syrup. (She really wanted pancakes).

She toasted her bread, cut up the butter, and put it on the toast. Got some syrup and went to the table to eat. She smiled as she ate and waited patiently for the bacon I was cooking. This was so simple that it caught on. Her little sister came to me and said, “Mom, I want to eat the same thing. So, I followed my third child’s process, and made the toast, gave the syrup, added the bacon and eggs. She too ate the toast in joy! Seeing the joy that simplicity brings, I decided I would enjoy this same meal with my daughters. What a fantastic way to start a day; thankful for all and realizing you have all you need. Thanks, daughter of mine, for the reminder.
