Good Morning, Lord

I heard it said once that there are two ways to greet the day: Either, good lord, it's morning or Good Morning, Lord. I have made it my goal to greet each day with Good Morning, Lord. So, how do I do that when my natural inclination is to grown and crawl back under my covers? My Bible sits right next to my bed and the temptation to ignore it in the morning and just jump into my day is sometimes impossible to resist. When I don't start the morning with God, then I notice my mood is darker, I am easily irritated by my daughters and I just plain don't have a good day.

So, my new goal: to greet every day with time in the Bible. I usually end my day with Bible study, but now I want to begin my day that way as well. With three busy daughters and a husband as well as myself to get off to work in the morning, this is going to be a daunting task. I know I can do it! I know my relationship with the Lord will grow and I will experience his blessings in my life in ways that I have yet to see.

Good morning, Lord. I am ready for a new day!
