How satisfied are you?

“The first hour of waking is the rudder that guides the whole day,” Henry W. Beecher.    

How do you roll in the morning? My morning usually rolls rather slowly. It takes me a bit to get my bearings and move toward a worthwhile goal. Have you heard the saying, I’d like mornings better if they came earlier in the day? That’s me!

I know this for sure: when I look upward first thing in the morning (even before my feet hit the floor), my day goes so much better. Sometimes it’s only a quick SOS prayer—Lord, help me throughout this day. Prevent my mouth from saying unkind words. Help me see others through Your eyes. Casting my eyes on Scripture or reading through a devotional helps me center my thoughts and mind in pleasant, righteous places. Just may mean the difference between a great day and a horrible-bad one.

• What can you do to center your mind on good and right thoughts?
• Record how your day went thinking about the time you spent on bullet point #1.

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
