The meal is one of many starting points for our days. Some of us eat eggs, bacon, toast, or whatever. Others eat cereal or pop tarts. It just depends on what is in the pantry and different tastes. For some people, it is their favorite meal of the day. Yet, it is not the most important thing on earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked,<br \/>\n&#8220;Who then can be saved?&#8221; Jesus looked at them and said,<br \/>\n&#8220;With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.&#8221;<br \/>\nMatthew 25:26<\/p>\n<p>Men make meals. Men make things. We, as humans, come together to make wonderful things happen. Yet, we cannot do these things without God. Yet, men cannot save themselves from death. They can join groups of men, but they cannot do what God and His Son and His angels can do.<\/p>\n<p>In the song, <em><strong>Breakfast<\/strong><\/em> by the Newsboys, the Breakfast Club (a group of eaters) has lost one of its members. The song illustrates that they are saying goodbye to this person, but that they know that they will see that person again because when they died they were children of God. Using the examples of the breakfast items, the song reminds us that the good things we experience here on earth will not be in hell\u2014the choice we make when we refuse God.<\/p>\n<p>When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we have nothing to worry about. We don\u2019t have to worry about where we are going to spend eternity. Jesus gave His life for us so we may enjoy eternity in His glory and not in the fires of hell. We get to live with Jesus in Paradise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> * \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u271e \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 * <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being able to choose to accept You and spend eternity with You.
