The place you are when you get up

When I woke up this morning, I asked myself, "What's life all about?"

 

I found the answer right there where I was.

 

The fan said, "Be cool."

 

The roof said, "Aim high."

 

The window said, "See the world."

 

The clock said, "Every minute is precious."

 

The mirror said, "Reflect before you act."

 

The calendar said, "Be up to date."

 

The door said, "Push hard for your goals."

 

The floor said, "Kneel down and pray."

 

The Bible on the night stand said, "I am the Word, live through me."

 

 

             Our days start at the place we are when we get up.  Do we normally get up in a state of agitation, feeling angry, hurt, or alone?  Do we get up thinking about how much of a jerk we can be today?  Do we get up wondering how many people we will hurt with our tongues and actions today, or how we can plan to sabotage our relationships? Do we get up wondering how we can mess up our Christian walk today, about how many things we can do that are contrary to God's word?  I seriously doubt any of us do any of that do we?  If that is the case, then what goes wrong during the day?

 

           Maybe we all need to take a good hard look at the place we get up each morning, including ourselves, and realize that each morning is another wonderful gift and blessing.  It's another day, another opportunity, to try to get it right.  We've been given a pass on yesterday, and now we have a brand new one to let the light shine.  If we make the choice to let it shine, it will be much more difficult for the darkness to take over.

 

Bottom Line Thought:  How do you get up each morning?  What's your life all about?
