THE GROCERY CART WITH A MIND OF ITS OWN
Hello!
Welcome to Cager’s Coffee Break,
Have you ever grabbed a grocery cart that apparently has unresolved emotional issues? Three wheels are headed toward produce, but wheel number four has decided you're going to the bakery. You're pushing left. It's pulling right. You're apologizing to strangers because your cart keeps drifting into their personal space. By aisle six, you're not shopping anymore. You're wrestling livestock. Interestingly, coffee can behave differently depending on how it is prepared, too. The size of the coffee particles affects how quickly water can extract flavor. Finer particles generally expose more surface area to the water, while coarser grounds expose less. That's one reason different brewing methods work better with different grind sizes. And that makes me think about direction. Sometimes life starts pulling us toward worry, fear, frustration or impatience. Before long, we're headed somewhere emotionally that we never intended to go. That's when faith helps us correct our direction. Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Notice that last part: He shall direct thy paths. When life starts pulling sideways, we don't have to follow it. We can stop, pray, trust God and allow Him to straighten our direction. Some days you need strong faith, good coffee and possibly a grocery cart alignment.
