Getting Up in the Mornings!

Do you find it difficult to get up most mornings? I use to have that problem. However, retirement brings some benefits; no time clock to punch; no deadlines to meet; no rush to get to work through traffic and no appointments with clients.

When I wake up in the mornings, sometimes I even have to think for a moment to remember what day it is. Retired people no longer run by the clock or the calendar. Before rising, I thank God that I woke up to a new day. And, I wonder what this day will hold.

Many of my family members and life long friends have already finished their tasks on this earth and have passed on. Perhaps I should ask God each morning upon waking what He would have me do with this day He has given me.

What if we all looked forward to each day and not just Fridays? What if we all woke up with an optimistic rather than a pessimistic attitude? What if we thanked God each morning that our hearts are still beating? I know if He could He would tell each of us to cherish each moment.

"This is the day the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
