The Breakfast Table of Love

A father wakes his son early one morning, and invites him to the table.  He tells his son that he is preparing a meal that will be good for him.  He also tells the son to go to the store and purchase a drink for the meal he is preparing.  The father gives the son more than enough money to buy whatever drink that he would like.  However, before the father could say another word, the son was off to the store to purchase a drink for the meal he was preparing.

While in the store, the son is blown away by all of the options he must choose from.  So many drinks, so many options!  And the money to buy ANY, SINGLE, ONE!  The son is too excited!  He chooses to buy a Dr.Pepper for the meal his father is preparing.  So he selects the tall, dark, soda and runs to the register to buy his selected drink.

Once the son returns home, he runs through the door and to the table.  He can't wait to eat the meal father has prepared.  As father comes from the kitchen, the son is shocked by the bowl he lays before him.  How on Earth can his Dr.Pepper wash down Captain Crunch?

The moral of the story is as simple as partnership itself:  THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY OPTIONS!  God gives every single person on this Earth a purpose, which is their meal.  And His goal is for us to complete that meal before we leave this Earth.  Partnership is simply a drink for the meal God has prepared for us.  And even though he gives us options through free will, those options really don't lead to much to choose from.

If the kid in the story knew his father was making him a bowl of cereal, would he really have as many options as he did in the store?  Outside of deciding between black, white, lowfat, and skim, the son would have never allowed his eyes to leave the milk aisle.  Finding a partner is just that simple!  We are not looking in the whole store; we are simply looking for our meal's best match.  That's it!  Just that simple!  The table of Love is easy, because it's a Breakfast Table.  What's brought to it is for the start of day!

Be blessed,
Doctor Love
