I've been doing some blog surfing recently, having found Dilly's blog, and Carla's and Danie's and, heck, Natalie's and Lindsey's and Donnae's and so on and so on. Which has made me feel that my blog is decidedly unspiritual. Which is fine, Fridges and Kepler are important too. There is no sacred/secular divide!! :)
Anyway, last night in Bible School I got thinking about... the breakfast table of the Lord. So this is my semi-spiritual post on... The Breakfast Table of The Lord.
"You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies" Psalm 23:5
I have this image of The Table of The Lord in my head. Its really long, there are lots of people at it, they're having a great time and celebrating. Kindof like Christmas dinner with the family. Except with goblets and stuff. I don't know why, but tables with kings have to be partially medieval. Sounds great. Like the Audio Adrenalin song Big House: "A big big table, with lots and lots of food" :) (Also, a big big yard were we can play football.)
Anyway, then I got thinking, what about the breakfast table of the Lord? As opposed to the party/dinner tbale of the Lord. The atmosphere at the breakfast table of the Lord must be completely different. A breakfast table is alot smaller, for one. More intimate really, at breakfast its mostly just family. And its me as I am at the breakfast table. Still kindof groggy from sleep. Maybe still in my PJ's, in my glasses, hair a mess. Probably haven't brushed my teeth yet. But thats fine, because its breakfast. And the breakfast table is very chilled out. You don't have to even talk really, if you don't want to. Breakfast is a good time for comfortable silences. Or if you do want to chet, you can chat about your day to come, your yesterday. Just livin' life stuff.
So as for me, I want a place at the dinner table of the Lord, definately. I want to celebrate and laugh and praise and rejoice. But I also want my all bran and tea at the breakfast table of the Lord, in my blue bunny pyjamas.

laurali-now you're probably going to disagree with me... but even though you are a v spiritual person...ur blog isn't lacking because that isn't its primary message.
and i think you would look prety dashing in those pjs at the breakfast table of anyone-especially god.
Hey Laura... i lOVE your image of a breakfast table with God... that is a thouroughly thrivable idea and I approve wholeheartedly :D It is also a great idea because then you get to start your day with God too... talk about "Guess who got it all this morning? dum di dum.. Guess who got it all today? Guess who got a taste of love made the Abba Father way!" hehe (apologies to Kelloggs for 'borrowing' their jingle! hehe) :)
p.s. I think Kepler and Fridges are very worthy blog topics! :D
laura! i dont think i knew you had a blog! this is exciting! hope you have a great weekend! i was great to see you tonight! love nats
Heh.
FYI, I've always found conversation with you is always better first thing in the morning when you're in your pyjamas sipping coffee and the rest of the world is starting to make supper (I tease).
:P
wow laura...you have a blog also! I feel like I've joined a whole new world and I keep discovering people with blogs...why didn't I know about all this excitement earlier? mmm...I could just so picture the breakfast table and appreciated the comfortable silence part...I'm not one to talk so early in the morning....enjoy el!
