Welcome to day 12 of my 31 Days<\/a> series on Bible quotes<\/a>. Today let’s look at scriptures that mention “morning.” This post is really just going to be a letter of encouragement to myself. You are more than welcome to read it replacing your name for mine. The thing is, I know first hand how good I feel when I get up and get going first thing in the morning. \u00a0But first thing in the morning, I know all too well how good it feels to snuggle down deep into my pillow for “five more minutes…”<\/p>\n

All right Jenny, I know you know everything I’m going to tell you…but knowing and doing are two very different things. \u00a0You know how good it is for you to get up in the morning with enough time to yourself before the house starts to wake up. \u00a0Think about it for a minute. \u00a0The house is quiet. \u00a0You wake up to the baby snuggled up close to you–well, actually the toddler, but he’s still your baby. \u00a0You begin your morning prayers before you get out of bed. \u00a0As you’re saying them, you gently slip out from beside the baby, I mean toddler, and before you quietly leave the room, you look over your shoulder and see his sweet little face buried in your pillow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You gently tip toe across the living room floor, looking out the French doors into the field as you make your way across the living room. \u00a0There are dew lines on the barn and they glisten as the first rays of morning sun begin to reach out to touch them. \u00a0The kitchen light is on from Chris; he’s always first one up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can now walk easier once you’ve hit the tile floor in the dinning room; it doesn’t creak like the living room floor. \u00a0Now you look out the dinning room windows to the East. \u00a0Again you look out onto a lovely field across the road. \u00a0The tips of the tall Johnson grass glistens and the sun is getting ready to peek through the branches of the “Big fat tree” as the kids call it. \u00a0You head into the office to grab your Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your Bible<\/a> was in the purple basket you carry to soccer practices along with your highlighters<\/a>, pens<\/a> and current read. \u00a0As you walk back through the kitchen and dinning room, you decide to sit down at the little bar area…but first you stop and admire the early morning sun stretching long arm across the worn dinning room table.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The house is still quiet and you wonder how long it will last? \u00a0With seven souls scattered through the bedrooms, it’s anyone’s guess. \u00a0You open your Bible<\/a>, unzip your pencil bag and pull out your favorite pen<\/a> and highlighters<\/a>. \u00a0 \u00a0Your mind and heart are open, still and ready to spend this quality time with God. \u00a0You briefly wish you were a coffee drinker like all the other moms. \u00a0They seem so cool with \u00a0their Bibles and pretty, steaming mugs of coffee…but you’re not…You read a little, highlight a little and take a couple of notes, pausing only briefly when you hear a child in the other room stir in their beds. \u00a0You hold you breath and check the clock. \u00a0It’s almost time to start waking people up…or is it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why don’t you do this every morning? \u00a0I’ll tell you why, because you stay up too late. \u00a0It is that simple. \u00a0If you want this alone time with God, you have to prepare the night before. \u00a0You’re also undisciplined. \u00a0Part of that is your fault and part of that is seventeen years of sleep deprivation due to a house full of kids. \u00a0The only way you’ll train yourself to get up early is to make this time a priority. \u00a0But please remember, give yourself grace as well. \u00a0You have seven children who still need you sometimes at night for one thing or another. \u00a0Grace on those sleepy mornings Jenny.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you don’t wake up before everyone else, at least try to take a minute to greet our Lord and offer your day. \u00a0Once kids get settled for the morning, then you can grab your Bible<\/a> and spend a little bit of time in the Word of God. \u00a0It may not be as long or uninterrupted, but the important thing is you made God a priority, if not the first thing in the morning, at least in the morning.<\/em><\/p>\n
