God Loved Us And Gave Us Nutmeg.

God loves us in the Small Matters of life and gave us the cheerful greens of summer, the heart-warning warm colors of Autumn ~ the reds, oranges, browns, and yellows . . .
. . . and God gave us Cinnamon, Ginger, Black Pepper, Jasmine, Gardenia, and the lemony fragrance of Magnolia.
God knew before Creation that millions of us would come to enjoy Vanilla, Sweet Basil, and Rosemary ~ and it was Fatherly Planning that designed and created them, and Father's Love that gave them to us . . .
. . . and the life-blessing aroma of coffee. When you first open Folger's Classic Roast, and the air under your nose is concentrated-happiness and you say a silent "Thank You Father for Your many small blessings that make my life so very enjoyable, and thank You for Your many medium and large blessings too." . . .
. . . the aroma of freshly opened coffee is almost as enjoyable as the fresh brewed cup, and on the 1 to 10 scale the smell of coffee is up there with the magical fragrance of God's other heavenly scents like rain plus flowers plus pine trees, and fresh-out-of-the-oven bread . . .
. . . and many of us wait with eager anticipation to meet our amazing Heavenly Father and talk with Him. Perhaps we will one day walk with Him in the evenings along Saffron Boulevard and hear Him tell us what was in His mind and heart when He designed and then created Red Roses, Camellias, Gardenias, and Geraniums . . .
. . . all these beautiful things, these soul-pleasing aromatic fragrances, scented flowers, panoramic sunsets, the magnificent vivid colors of life ~ the blues, greens, reds, browns, yellows, and greys, the soul inspiring scenes of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, tell us what kind of Person God is. He has a beautiful mind. He loves beautiful things. He loves to create beauty. To share beauty with His creatures. To teach us how to create beautiful things too. It was God that designed the Orchid, the Hibiscus, and the Chrysanthemum. The Amaryllis was born first in the mind and heart of God.
Father, we thank You for all that, and for Vermillion, Burnt Orange, Turquoise, and Magenta . . .
. . . for Cloves, Lavender, Amber, Musk, Tangerines, Cardamom, and Tiramisu.
Father, we thank you for Chocolate.
And we thank You for being there for us in the Small Matters of the lovely details of living life ~ "Sparrows" and "Hairs" Matthew 10:29-30 . . .
But most of all, we thank You for being there for us in What Matters Most, the gift of Eternal Life through faith in the death of the Lord Jesus on that Old Rugged Cross; who died in our stead so that we may live with You forever in Heaven where there is no more pain, no more sorrow, no more politics, no more bickering and squabbling, no more aging "Old age is not for sissies"__Billy Graham at 93 (and others), and no more Death ~ rather Eternal Life where every day is Red Roses, Jasmine, and Magnolia.
Thank You Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.

Love nutmeg
“If coffee only tasted as good as it smells...” ~ nully’s dad.
Me too. Not a huge fan of Connecticut, though.
Maybe you’re not drinking the right kind of coffee.. To me, copy, when done right tastes just as good as it smells.
And yes, thank you Father for all the wonderful tastes and smells that you created us to enjoy.
Stupid autocorrect...COFFEE, not copy.
take sour cream sugar and nutmeg to make a fruit salad dressing its to die for
Perhaps. A nice medium roast Sigri A PNG is pretty good, though.
Dad didn’t live long enough for me to discover it.
Otto Kor Wrecked strikes again...
Hawaiian is my favorite
Folger’s?
After years of experimenting, we settled on Pete’s “Major Dickinson”.
We hand grind the beans each morning in our antique wall-mounted Arcade Crystal #3 grinder. Then we brew it in a regular Cuisinart.
I’m sure there are better ways of brewing it - and I’m sure there are plenty of coffee snobs who make better coffee than ours in their homes, but ours certainly beats anything we have had at a coffee shop or restaurant.
Hi.
Everyone is talking about you.

It's actually "Dickason". That is my favorite coffee as well. I used to grind the beans, but now I just do K-cups as I don't drink as much coffee as I used to.
Kona for me nothing beats it.
Amen!
Top-notch job with that Gardenia thing. Jeez Louise those things send me into a stupor.
Don’t take any wooden nutmegs...
