1.I kneel down and thank the good Lord for another good night rest. I have told myself to stop taking life for granted. There are some who go to sleep and unfortunately have no chance of seeing another day!
2.I pray for my family members, church members, friends and enemies!
3.I spent the early morning hours to prayerfully and meditatively study the sure word of God!
4.In keeping with the rules of good health, I start the day by drinking 2-3 glasses of water. Every time I do that I thank the good Lord for water. It’s a known fact that there are some people out there who sometimes lack even water to drink!
5.I check my in box for any e-mails that may require immediate attention!
6.I open the curtains to allow for the outside light. Oh! How I love to see the beauty outside!
7.During the good weather, I go for the morning nature walk. I truly enjoy God’s world and appreciate the singing of birds. The flowers kind of give me a glimpse picture of that which we have read about the home for the saints!
8.I then take a shower, and I mean a warm shower. This is the one area that reminds me of my bitter past. I do recall years that I went to the river to take a shower. Then I washed my clothes and while they were drying, I enjoyed swimming. What amuses me most is the kind of game or call it tricks that I used to play with my back. Since the water was too cold, I sat there and threw some water passed my back. Once the back accepted it, then I continued to enjoy swimming. So every time I take a warm shower, I praise the good Lord for that!
9.Breakfast is another good one that reminds me daily to thank the good Lord! There are millions out there that do not have food!
10.I them embark on the day doing church work such as visitation, calling my members, writing some thoughts, and being careful lest I hurt or offend God’s children.
11.Throughout the day, I continue to praise and send my petitions to the good Lord, who alone is able to keep us and provide for our daily needs!
How do you spend yours!
Just a thought!
