My Morning Cup

Why is it so easy for me to jump out of bed in the morning for that first, fresh cup of "Joe", but I come out kicking and screaming, in a round about way, to spend a few quiet minutes with my Heavenly Father. As I am preparing my latte, with a half-asleep grin on my face, I find myself wondering why I can't jump out of bed for my "morning cup" of Jesus. I think my goal for the next few days is to focus on my time with Him first, and my coffee second. I think it is time for me to get my priorities in check. Please know that I have not lost sight of the fact that for mine and my precious families sanity, the coffee is a must. However, for the love of my Father and for the sake of my day, I am going to put Him first and leave the kicking and screaming to my six year old.

What a tough thing to do...get up and get going with God first thing. However, what joy you find with the rest of your day when you do! Great thoughts!

Good word, Kristy... I've actually done a similar thing. I don't eat breakfast now until I've spent time with God. For me that's GOOD INCENTIVE!! :)
