I'm joining the challenge to write for 5 minutes with the writing prompt: waking up.
Go.
I savor waking up to my fresh brewed coffee and devotion. My taste buds crave the creamy fresh bean coffee and my soul craves a fresh Word from my pocket book bible. This is the way I start my day. Maybe the only time I get for myself and alone time with God in a day. Imperative to a good start on my day.
Then there is the gift of waking up my children. My first born, now in kindergarten, wakes up first and I snuggle with him over a devotion each morning. Sacred time. Our time. Maybe the only time I will snuggle with him in the day. Imperative to a good start on his day.Go.
The rest wake up to life going already...and I sigh...there are still three more.
Lord, grant me that sacred time with each one.
Stop.
I am happy to join Five Minute Friday for the first time with Lisa-Jo over at The Gypsy Mama. Come, join in, and link up!
Lovely words. I am learning through reading these five minute friday entries that i need to change my perspective, to see the mornings with awe.
ReplyDeletea great challenge on what really matters at the start of each new day. :)

Oh what a blessing! Sweet, sweet time with your Savior and your son!
ReplyDeleteI long for those times of quiet in the morning, but it seems that lately, even the earliest of wake up times ends up interrupted with a baby's cry or a curious toddler! But even in that, it is gift. We curl up with the children's Bible and have quiet times together!
I, too, linked up for 5 Min. Friday for the first time today! Was glad to see your link there, too! :)
What a sweet picture you've painted! I too have four children, and I too savor those one-on-one times with each child. There's just a soul and spirit connection that you miss otherwise!
