Breakfast and Devotionals

Avalon, Catalina Island, CA

On the third day of our marriage (during our honeymoon on Catalina Island, CA), we were listening to a reading of the Bible off the YouVersion Bible app on my phone when breakfast was delivered and setup in our room. While we ate, we listened some more and discussed the chapter. We liked how natural it felt doing devotionals during breakfast, that we decided to adopt the idea as our first family tradition going forward.

This special morning tradition also gives us an opportunity for face time each day, no matter how busy the rest of the day may go. We use the time to update each other on plans for the day, and hear news or whatever we may have learned recently worth sharing. Mostly though, we go through a devotional guide together and have prayers before we head out into the world. Whenever we can't make it some days, we still study the devotionals on our own. It is a right way to start the day -- with food and God.
