With sleepy eyes I crawl from bed

My arms raised to the sky

Stretching out the waking limbs

Yawning deep and wide.

A busy day will soon begin

With hours not enough

To finish all I’ve got to do

And all my mind’s eye stuff.

The coffee will jump start the day

Sweet music sets the pace

I’ll check off the list of my to-do’s

Like a sprinter in a race.

But before the madness even starts

I’ll sit here just with You

Asking what it really is

That YOU want me to do.

And every time I listen close

This is what I hear

“Love Me and those who come your way.

The rest will soon be clear.”

My day begins

and all it holds

Your words snug in my heart

To love You, Lord and those You bring

A day’s perfect way to start…

Luke 10:27 – He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'”
