Jehovah Java, My Provider (The God who supplies even my coffee)
On Sunday mornings I’m reserving my home, and my coffee for friends who want to enjoy it with me, along with some snacks, and a bit of time to converse about the things of life and God. (9:15-10:10 a.m.)
I’ve decided, if my husband makes the coffee, we won’t be forced to look at passages in He-brews. (A few coffee and Bible jokes there. Not very good ones, though. Sorry.)
I may create a home page tab to reflect specifically on our times together, and the topics, or the insights that come from it. Feedback on this idea would be appreciated.
If you join us for Jehovah Java Coffee Club time, or plan to, or would like to join in “at a distance,” please be encouraged to continue our conversation after posts, or add your input.
Today’s topic was entered as the previous post, Sunday Homily.

A Prayer for Guidance – Advent Meditation
Thank you for visiting today. I invite you into a short spiritual exercise of prayer and meditation.(It takes 2.5-4 min.) Simply read over the following almost 1,000 year old prayer, about 3 times, (preferably out loud-even a whisper is fine). Each time think carefully, for 30 seconds or more, about something in the passage that stands out to you, before you re-read. Then, speak with God for a few minutes about the thoughts that came to mind.
Your comments, or reflections about your experience, or this prayer are quite appreciated.
Thank you, and happy Advent Season.

Prayer for God’s Guidance
-The Sarum Breviary, 1085
We beseech Thee, O Lord, let our hearts be graciously
enlightened by Thy holy radiance, that we may serve Thee
without fear in holiness and righteousness all the days of
our life; that so we may escape the darkness of this world,
and by Thy guidance attain the land of eternal brightness;
through Thy mercy, O blessed Lord, who dost live and
govern all things, world without end. Amen.
