My Morning Wake -Up Call

I wish I could tell you that when the alarm goes off, I automatically spring into action. But honestly, morning people amaze me! I do not get up with the rising sun. I've seen the sunrise on several occasions but most of the time I witness it on the front of my Raisin Bran box. :)

Still, we all know that work has to be done, the kids have to get to school, calls have to be made, lists to be accomplished and so on. The lists seem endless! So I drag myself out of the bed and give in to the start of a new day.

After I take my two boys to school, I open God's Word and see what he wants to tell me. It is during my morning prayer and devotion time that He will bring to mind those for whom I need to pray, call ,visit or send a card. I love when He plans my day. How rewarding it is when someone says they received the card or phone call just when they needed it! Of course, it was because God knew their need and prompted me to help His work.

I don't look forward to mornings, but I do look forward to my time with Him. It's in my quiet place that I find His perspective, guiance, grace, mercy, joy, and strength for another day.

Have a wonderful Father's Day weekend everyone! This is the first Father's Day without my Dad here with me. Please remember me, and others who have lost their Dad, in prayer this weekend. God Bless you all!
