There’s Something Special About a Slow Saturday Morning…

Some weekends come in loud, full of chores, errands, frost on the windows, and a to-do list that seems to grow faster than we can cross things off. But other weekends — the ones I love the most — start with something warm, comforting, simple, and slow.

That’s why we’re beginning our very first Sip & Snack Saturday with something cozy and easy enough for anyone to make: Mocha Delight.

No fancy machines.
No hard-to-find ingredients.
Just a mason jar, a handful of pantry staples, and a few quiet minutes stirred together with intention.

This little recipe is more than a drink — it’s a pause. A breath. A moment to lean into the gentle parts of our week instead of rushing through them. And tomorrow at 10 AM, we’ll enjoy it together on Facebook with a simple video showing how quickly it comes together.

But first… let’s make the mix.

Why We’re Starting With Mocha Delight

Sip & Snack Saturdays are meant to be:

• Simple

• Seasonal

• Doable

• And filled with real ingredients

Mocha Delight checks every box.

It’s familiar enough to feel like a hug, but homemade enough to remind us that we can make beautiful things in our own kitchens — without the chemicals, syrups, or mystery ingredients found in store-bought mixes.

It’s also the perfect “first step” before we start moving into savory mixes like onion soup blend, taco seasoning, ranch mix, and all the other pantry staples we’ll be making in the coming weeks.

For now? We’re keeping it soft.
Warm.
Comforting.
And just plain good.

🪴 Table Challenge for the Week

Before you go, here’s your Table Challenge:

Take one moment this week to sit at your table — not to work, not to plan, not to scroll — but simply to breathe.

Sip something warm.
Write down one thing you’re grateful for.
Ask the Lord to steady your heart for the week ahead.

A quiet table can become holy ground.
