It's amazing to me how it takes a whole hour and a half for me to fully wake up...
I've heard that you can make yourself be a morning person, but I really don't think that's true. I mean...I am definitely NOT a morning person. That doesn't mean that I'm crabby or nasty all the time, but I normally don't speak for a good hour after I wake up unless it's absolutely necessary. And my face feels like it's still sleeping. And I move as little as possible. I just flip on the Fox News Channel and eat my cereal. Pretty much a zombie in most aspects, aside from the dead part and being controlled by something evil.
And then...there are morning people.
BOY! are there morning people. They can hop right out of bed and get ready for their day with such an energetic attitude that it astounds me. They can be bubbly, talkative, and awake without really trying to be.
I'm sorry, that just is not me.
I shuffle around with my eyes have closed...and when a "Good morning!" comes my way I'm usually known to give a caveman-like response. Either "Mmm.." or "ughhh" or something to that effect.
It's not that I'm not glad that a new day has begun, because hey, this is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. But I believe that my way of "rejoicing" at 7:00 is just a wee bit different than it is, say, at 9:00.
It's a time of contemplation for me...I can almost see things more clearly when I'm eating my breakfast in a fog. It's normally the time when I go over my schedule for the day. I also go over things that have happened during the past few days, and wonder how I could have handled situations differently and in a better way. It's also a time of learning patience and love. With 3 younger siblings, you have a really good opportunity to exercise that Christlike attitude...
But one thing that always wakes me up...
My morning time with God.
How I love Him.
He is so good.
Have a blessed day, and if you made it to the end of this extremely boring post, I commend you.
(Have you read Deuteronomy 28 yet? No? What's keeping you?!)
