The Coffee Shop is closing....

Good morning dear friends.... and followers of "The Coffee Shop" ... I've been thinking about closing "The Coffee Shop" might be something temporary I am still not sure... But I feel I should do that...

The why's

1. Too busy to get back to the wonderful people who write or to keep up with daily posting.
2. (the most important) I've been feeling from God... to spend more time with Him and if I write I should write something of more... value and content.... something that might really help others... and as I was watching the news last night... (which I usually never do) I saw the case of a woman who left her 2 yr. old son with a guy... who beat him up... and when she came back she didn't call the hospital... the poor kid was fainting, dizzy, didn't want to eat and sometimes would throw up... she... gave him an aspirine... the poor baby was like that for 6 days until he finally died... My heart SHRUNK.... BROKE.... And I am still so .... I don't know.... in pain! And I thought It's incredible I am writing about coffee when those things are happening! I mean... I know it's not "wrong" to have a blog... and just write about nice things... I enjoy that... But I feel that If I am going to have a blog or write about anything I should write about the Good News of Salvation... and how desperately we need Jesus... and... well... you can see I was convicted... I have a big mission which is raise my child in God's path.... My husband and my daughter are my ministry.... and tell others about God's grace and love!

Sorry about ranting there... I am just .... I don't know... I knew this time was coming but I didn't want to admit it... I tried to open a giveaway and thank God it didn't succeed... LOL! Just one more sign I should stop this...

I hope I can still stay in touch with the dear friends I've found here.... you can e-mail me at love.for.coffee@gmail.com ... If I create that other blog I will let you know....

God bless u all!

Coffee Friday... and a giveaway!

Hello dear friends, my baby girl is still sick, she got better but she now has some fever and a cold, thanks for the words of encouragement, support and prayers... please continue to pray for her.

We still had to have our "Coffee Friday" here at "The Coffee Shop" plus a giveaway to say "Thanks" for being patient with me as I haven't been able to comment so much lately.... I want to be back on track in my blogging life... but it hasn't been possible... so bear with me!

Our picture for the day comes from my "group fotolog" ... Fotolog is a page where you can upload a daily picture of anything you want, there are some group fotologs (like mine) that can have a determined theme and others can upload pictures to it... so I administer one dedicated exclusively to coffee... and here is the picture shared by "Monse" (one of the visitors of my fotolog):

I truly loved the picture! Isn't it neat? and now... the giveaway:

GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Quick post!

Hello everyone... Just to let you know that I did not forget about our "Tuesday jokes, quotes and facts" but I have a baby girl that isn't feeling well today...

Hopefully we will have a better day in "The Coffee Shop" tomorrow!

:)
