Let Me Share With You My "Almost" Breakfast Adventure Today

Where I live it is a beautiful day today. I think it will be in the upper 80's or so. Sunny and the trees are a lush green too. I went to the early morning service at church and was out in a decent enough time to be able to enjoy breakfast, I thought but not so. A few weeks ago I went to a restaurant and at the time I only had the option of lunch for I was told breakfast had already ended for the day. I really wanted breakfast that day so I graciously left the establishment in search of breakfast. I missed breakfast again today for I was told it ends at 11AM. I would have possibly given them a chance today if I did not experiencee what I experienced my prior visit. You see, what I was told was the grills, etc. were shut down for breakfast. No sooner did I get seated and Tommy walks in and asks for breakfast I believe, to go! Tommy was an older gentleman and possibly a frequent customer because they sure did oblige him with his request. Maybe they do not like that I am not born/raised is this region or maybe I do not dress in the manner they are accustomed to I have not any idea I just know that I was prohibited from ordering breakfast.
It really is a quaint little restaurant that must specialize in BBQ. Cute little tablecloths and an informal type of restaurant with a good price point also. Today, there were two older gentlemen sitting in rocking chairs on the front porch as I was going into the restaurant. I asked them if they knew if I made it in enough time to still get breakfast. They had no idea. I went in the restaurant and found out I was too late again. I let the guys know that as I was leaving and one of them commented that I had to re-work my schedule to get there for breakfast on a Sunday. I graciously said that I attend a very large church and I was already at the early service they offered on a Sunday. I said church was very important to me and that I guess I would have to miss breakfast there in order to attend church.
Let me tell you about the kind of church I attend. They are a most loving and giving church also. The church is growing so much they need to expand. In the last two prior weekends and from Internet pledges and offerings they needed to raise $7,250,000.00 to complete this addition and expansion of the church. The people were so incredibly generous that they donated/pledged $7,8000,000.00 is that not amazing. This project will be completed in about 2.5 years and the addition will be a great testimony to God. It already is just by the sheer fact of the amount of money the people gave to back the vision/support of the pastor's heart.
This same church is truly moving in Holy Spirit power, there is a youth conference coming up for teens and young adults. As of today let me share with you the number of kids already signed up and registered, are you ready for the total amount...10,000, yes, I did say 10,000. They requested to open up more seats to be able to accommodate the youth of today that will be our strong and mighty leaders of tomorrow. I can only imagine what the spirit of God will do with these fine boys and girls, correction I should state young men and women. Holy Spirit have your way and flow in power with signs and wonders to touch the youth. The youth that You are raising up in Your church.
I failed to mention earlier that even though I did not have breakfast and did not eat until after 2PM today I still enjoyed the conversation I had with the guys on the front porch. They had the right idea, probably sitting there relaxing after the meal they just consumed and isn't that what Sunday's are for? As I pulled out of the parking lot I waved goodbye to them. One of my friends happens to call me when I am on my Saturday adventures and it is as though I am taking her with me on the adventure. I read signs on the road that are interesting and I share with her where I was that day and what I experienced too. We sure do laugh about my adventures. That is just exactly what they are. I am not afraid to get in the car and explore sites and places that I seem to have an interest in. It is in the exploring that you get to meet really nice people. As you can tell, I am a "people" person when out in public. If I have a question or I want to know a fact or something like that I will ask someone and if they do not have an answer I am either content with that or will search out another until I get the answer. You know it is when you are exploring and get off of the beaten path that is where you find great things. I found a wonderful little restaurant for lunch, a salad and a side of chopped pork with BBQ sauce of your choice. I was also able to see families on big tubes enjoying the river. I tried several times to attempt to get to the main candy store in town but there was so much traffic I could not find good parking that you did not have to pay for. All I wanted to do was get a caramel/chocolate dipped apple for my niece and walk over the bridge to watch the tubing families enjoy themselves. I settled for the smaller store of the same candy co. and then explored down another side street that was not in the downtown/congested area. I stumbled on the parking lot of the very small restaurant that I ate at. I then struck up a conversation with a dad and his young daughter that just completed tubing and they were enjoying lunch. I asked them if they thought that if I walked across the street a few yards away that I just may be able to get a glimpse of the tubers. He said go ahead. I did and that is how I am able to share the  pictures with you. You see, God had a hidden surprise tucked away just for me if I was willing to find it out. I did find out that for a very nominal fee you can either do the 3 hour or 1 hour tubing adventure. The water is not deep and they can even connect tubes together and they give you a little stick to help you along also. I was advised to wear aqua shoes on this adventure. It looked like it would be fun to do. Maybe one day in the future. Do not sit home today, adventure out and you just may never know what God has waiting out there just for you if you decided to get up off of the couch and stretch forth.
