DAY BEGINS!!!! Today is MY day... can I feel it? Yeah Though the sun isnt shining,the birds havent stopped chirping on a wet rainy morning... This morning I am invincible ,as though; impossible doesn´t exist. Today is the day I will take the world by the horns and shape it to my will. Today is MINE!
“If people love you at 6:30 in the morning, one thing is sure: They love you.They don’t love your title. They don’t love your style. They don’t love your accomplishments. They just love you." So when I read this line in the Max Lucado book “In The Eye of The Storm“, I guess it hit pretty close to home. Probably because it’s so relevant in my home.
I got to thinking about my house on a typical weekday morning. Usually my folks get up before me. They have learned to not disturb the slumbering bear until they hear the sounds of said bear lumbering his way out of the bed in the morning. Then they usually greet me somewhere between the washroon and bathroom sink to say good morning. More often then not, my return greetings are not quite so pleasant, let alone understandable. Yet they greet me again the next morning. Now that’s love.
I thought of my folks and how they have had to put up with this behavior for tewnty four years now.They are what you might call “morning people” so for them, my act is completely foreign. Yet they keeps bringing the smiles and greetings each morning. Never once telling me what my grandpa used to say “Looks like someone needs to go upstairs and start the day over again”.
Knowing that those that live under my roof love me regardless of all of the early morning shortcomings is something special. To know that it’s not for all of those things that Max listed, but for who I am, means even more. I can’t promise I will all of the sudden become a morning person, that would take a major miracle. But I can sure relish in the fact that my family loves me. Mornings included.
