A Quick Note about Coffee

I am a people watcher. I love watching people interact while going about their daily business and I have noticed that when done well people watching can teach you a lot about life. This morning I am sitting in a small cafe enjoying a rich cafe Americano  and observing the other people that walk in to order and enjoy their beverages. Yet the biggest thing I have noticed is the way in which coffee has a way to bring people together.

Old,
young,
infant,
tattooed,
pierced,
moms,
wealthy,
students,
hungry,
strong,
weak,
hip,
square,
oblivious,
everyone.

They are all here and they are all ordering their coffee and tea and sitting down together and separately to enjoy what they have chosen to satisfy their individual cravings.

There is a lot we can learn here about God and how we relate to him in community. There are no barriers here, there are just people loved by God, whether or not they realize it. Who knew that a cup of coffee could teach so much.
