During the days of working in the office, the gathering place was the coffee pot. It was the place to exchange “information” (which is called gossip), tell stories, laugh, or cry. It was the gathering place. To this day, the coffee pot is still the place to meet, except we now call it the coffee shop. Free WI-fi, story times, music, open mike nights, you get the idea. A place to gather, to talk, to meet, to share “information.”
The coffee pot is important. It represents a place of gathering, a place of sharing. That desire has never changed through out the generations. Each generation needs a coffee pot. My coffee pot is in emails, which is not a good source of interaction by the way. However it works for the time being. Personal interaction is the best.
Jesus understood the coffee pot idea, That is why He came to earth. To inter act with us on a personal level. When He left, He left His Spirit to interact with us on a personal level. The coffee pot now is prayer. Do you meet Jesus at the coffee pot? Just a thought
