I can't tell you how this saying came about, but I do recall a day when I saw someone crying over spilled milk. The someone wasn't a child. It was my dad. And the milk wasn't the small amount in a glass. It was a lot of milk. For years my parents tried to scratch a living out of a hardscrabble little farm near Mulberry Grove, Illinois. There wasn't much money to be made from farming in those days, at least not from farming on our scale. . .Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!My Coffee Cup Meditations are short, easy-to-read, Bible-based devotions to help you consider God's greatness, the wonderful gospel of Jesus, and be better equipped for life here and hereafter.

Our two sons, their wives and their children were all present for the Christmas gathering. Turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and homemade bread were on the table. When the moment came that we had been eagerly anticipating, we took our seats. As soon as our youngest grandchild, Eramin, was comfortably situated in her high chair, she surveyed the table and asked: "Where are the donuts?"Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!My Coffee Cup Meditations are short, easy-to-read, Bible-based devotions to help you consider God's greatness, the wonderful gospel of Jesus, and be better equipped for life here and hereafter.

I used to marvel at Rover. Milking time would come, and Dad would say: "Rover, get the cows!" But Rover wouldn't immediately dash off as one might expect. He would listen until he heard the bell that Dad had put around the neck of one of the cows. Then he would dash off, find the cows, and slowly herd them home. It was obvious that he relished doing his job. It was something that made him feel proud.Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!

After we sang our closing song and prayed our closing prayer, these wonderful people began coming to me one after the other to bid farewell. I couldn't speak their language, and they couldn't speak mine, but I soon discovered we didn't need an interpreter as we had a common language after all. It was the language of smiles, tears and uplifted index fingers. Yes, as they said their goodbyes to me, these Brazilian brothers and sisters in Christ would point upward. That was each one's way of saying: "I will meet you in the air."Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!

I don't know how my dog Molly knows, but she knows. She knows when Sunday arrives. I've tried to figure out how she knows, and I keep coming up empty. But from the very time she gets up on Sunday, she seems to act differently than on other days. Early on Sunday mornings, I place my Bible on the small table by the garage door. But Molly always senses its Sunday before I do that. I wonder what her clue is. Do we know as much as Molly? Do we know that Sunday is special? Do we love Sundays?Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!

I've seen gold, and I've seen silver, but I have never seen apples of gold in silver settings. My initial reaction is that such apples in such settings must reflect both tremendous value and exquisite beauty. There are words like that-words of tremendous value and exquisite beauty! And we can possess them even though they were all spoken so very long ago. We can possess them by reading the reports of them in the Bible and by reflecting deeply on what we have read.My Coffee Cup Meditations are short, easy-to-read, Bible-based devotions to help you consider God's greatness, the wonderful gospel of Jesus, and be better equipped for life here and hereafter.Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!

It was finally gone, the victim of the cold steel of a bulldozer's blade. I knew the end was rapidly approaching, but I still hated to see it go. I'm talking about the little old house in which I spent the first twenty-one years of my life. Little? Yes. It consisted of a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, a pantry, and a porch. And what about the bathroom? There was no bathroom. We used the privy, which was situated a little way down the hill. My folks, you see, were very poor. We just had enough money, as they put it, "to make ends meet."Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger and Sylvia Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!

There's a golden key that unlocks the Bible. That key is Jesus. He tells us so. On the day of His resurrection, He met two travelers on the road to Emmaus and "expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:27). There you have it! Jesus believed that all the Old Testament Scriptures concerned Him. Later that day, He met His disciples and assured them "that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me" (Luke 24:44).Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger Ellsworth-and a good cup of coffee at the same time!
