A Quiet Place

Early mornings by the river, an eagle or pelican in flight, an occasional deer and a cup of Tim Horton's coffee;  These are some of the things that mark our quiet place.  My wife and I get up early about four times a week to take in God's creation, spend time catching up with each other, and reading and praying together.  We are presently reading a daily devotional about how God's Word has touched peoples' lives.  In the past we have read books on marriage, prayer and spiritual growth.

As much as we still rely on the TH coffee to help get us out of bed, the other elements are far more beneficial.  We continually marvel at God's creation.  We grow through time together.  We start the day with God.  

If Jesus needed to get away to a quiet place with His Father, how much more do we need it.  I realize it is probably not possible to get away outside the house if you have a young family.  You just need to do the best you can at home.  But if at all possible, find a special spot to meet with God.  I highly recommend it.
