Breakfast is often described as the most important meal of the day. It is extremely important for people with diabetes and other health conditions. While I do not really remember it, there is a family legend that while I was still in the high chair I was demanding “Mo” bacon, mo’eggs.” Later when my mother was working full time, breakfast was a more sketchy event. Usually it was cold cereal, milk, sugar, toast and on occasion a sliced banana. Sometimes in the years since childhood, breakfast was an after- thought with a cup of coffee snatched while going out the door. After my wife and I were diagnosed with diabetes we changed our breakfast habits. While I sometimes cook meals, it is my wife who makes sure we have a hot breakfast with toast and fruit and a protein source like eggs, cheese, sausage, bacon, etc. I think of this as an act of love in an everyday practical way. I am sure we are both heathier because of my wife’s loving action. I try to always say “thank you” for breakfast. Love ought to be measured more by the simple kind acts than by the huge romantic gestures. We admire the Christian martyrs but should never forget the simple Christians who live daily for Jesus.
