coffee and book recommendation

I recommend this coffee. 

My mom left a bag at my house. 

My aunt and cousin came through town and took some in to go cups. They texted later, "we really enjoyed that coffee."

Then my mother in law was over and asked "what kind of coffee is this?"

It's Seattle's Best Post Alley Blend. It's bold and fantastic. 

My best college friend also approves, says she can't stop recommending it.  

This is not sponsored, but if Seattle's Best wants to make an offer, I'm here for it.

Also, I recommend this book by Nancy Guthrie, The One Year Praying Through the Bible for Your Kids. With the new year coming up, it would be a great gift for anyone with some kids to pray for. I even think it would be good for grandparents or aunts and uncles.

Sometimes, I get stuck as to how to pray for my kids. Naturally, I pray for their health and safety. I also tend to pray for specific situations and their general welfare, which is important to me but ultimately not the most important. This book is a great guide into deeper and more significant prayers. For example, that they would lean on God in times of suffering, make Christ the main focus of their lives, and learn to confess and repent of their sins....to name a few.

In busy seasons, like Christmastime, it feels good to take a break from the craziness and do something basic. It doesn't get more basic than a good cup of coffee and praying for our kids!
