I jumped out of bed this morning......running...thinking about my day ahead. I didn't even tell Him goodmorning....no words of thanks or praise came out of my mouth. I walked into the kitchen to make a wonderful homemade breakfast for my family. My head had been pounding for almost a week but I noticed today it was much worse. I noticed my children were already at the table with their school books opened with pencils in hand.....warmed my heart....but my head was still pounding. I got out my cast iron pans and started to make a warm breakfast for my babies. I served them their food and while saying our blessings realized that I had not even thanked the one who allowed me to wake up to this beautiful day. I didn't spend the time with my Father in Heaven that I long for each moment.
Oh how grateful I have been for the blessings He has given me.....but how easy it is when things are going your way to get caught up in the blessings and not give as much attention to the one who made them all possible. What a blessing to have the God of Creation waiting each and every moment for us to just say "Hi" or "I love You Lord"!
I know I will still go to Heaven...even though I got caught up in my own schedule first thing this morning......but when you love someone with your whole heart and you ignore them...it doesn't make you feel good. Infact it makes you feel horrible inside!!!
This is just a little reminder for those that may have felt the same way...and as a Christian you should feel this way at some point in your walk....since we are human and not perfect.
The Lord just wants us to stop....if it's just for a moment...just to tell Him that we love Him! Thank Him today for the gifts He has given you....because He is a gentleman and He will wait for you to listen to His gentle voice and He will never push Himself upon you. I may not have spent the time with my Lord when I first opened my eyes this morning...but I am spending it now.....what a friend we have in Jesus!!!!
