Lately, I have actually been enjoying my mornings. Sure, when that alarm goes off, all I want to do is role over and pull the covers tight over my face, especially now that the temperatures are dropping. It feels so good to stay in bed and feel the warmth and security.
Yet, lately, I have been enjoying my mornings a little more. When that alarm goes off and after pushing "snooze" a couple times, I sit up, say a little prayer to thank God for sleep and for a new day. The morning just feels like a new beginning. No matter what happened yesterday, it is in the past and now today, there are new things for God to use me to do and there are new tasks to be accomplished. There may have been sins and hard times the day before, but now, in the "new beginning," through God's grace, I am able to get up and join him once again in the war we are in.
I still love sleeping and don't like it too much when the alarm goes off, but the Lord definitely has pointed me more towards a positive outlook on the day; one of challenge and service.
Who knows? Maybe I'll start going to bed earlier so I can get to "tomorrow" faster.
Na... :)
