SPECIAL COFFEE MOMENTS
When was the last time that you

Enjoying the power of coffee
Coffee has shared our lives in many
ways than one. For some people, it is
that first cup of coffee that they made
for a special someone. For others, it is
that cup of coffee they shared on a cold
winter night.

were out in the elements with only the
sky for the roof and the ground for
the floor? How about the stars for the
blanket and the moon as the pillow?
How many times have you been outdoors with your family enjoying the
scenery and the beauty of the wild?

I can still remember one of my friends
going like this…one day I was at one
of them fancy cafés outside the office
building. I had a regular cup of brewed
coffee in front of the piles of work I
had to do for the day. I was just finishing my work when a voice came at me
out of nowhere.

During those times what did you
share with your beloved wife as you
reminisce the times that you two were
still in high school and your spirits
were high? What did you reach for in
the open flame trying to make sure
that everything was just right?

“Hi there! Mind if I share the table?”
I looked up and saw the most beautiful face I have ever seen in my life. I
said it was okay and I stood up and got
her seated. Man! I couldn’t believe we
talked for over an hour.

What was the one thing the two of you
could share hurriedly in the morning and savor slowly and deliberately
in the evening? What one thing that
bonds you and your wife on the cold
nights of autumn and the very cold
days of winter? What is the only thing
that you enjoy more than a two-inch
steak?

I was about to ask her a question when
she excused herself. She suddenly said,
“Oh! I’m sorry I’ve got to get going my
husband’s here!” the thing is, I didn’t
even get her name but I do remember
the coffee she was having that day…
Hazelnut Frapuccino.

I think you know what I’m talking
about here. I think you have caught
the drift…I am talking about the only
potion known to man that is both
powerful and soothing at the same
time. Yes folks, I am talking about coffee. Coffee, the caffeine packed, antioxidant rich and most flexible of God’s
entire gift to man.

Good thing that I know my coffee, I
think hazelnut frap will forever hold
a very, very special place in my heart.
