When I wake up, I don\u2019t feel the need to pull the blanket over my head and long for just a few more minutes in bed. In fact, I don&#8217;t even need an alarm clock &#8212; mine is built-in &#8212; usually, right on time between 6:00 am and 6:30 am. I like to get up, get my thermal mug of coffee, post my morning FB message, and enjoy a few precious quiet moments at the beginning of the day before the phone starts ringing and my daily responsibilities begin. <\/p>\n<p>And, also, (most of the time) I start my day in a state of joy and happiness. I love the feel of a new day, with all the potential of new opportunities and moments to enjoy. I love Michael Buble&#8217;s rendition of this song: \u201cIt\u2019s a new dawn; It\u2019s a new day; It\u2019s a new life, for me, and I\u2019m feeling good!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Bible&#8217;s take on that: &#8220;Because of the LORD\u2019s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning;<br \/>\ngreat is Your faithfulness.&#8221; Lamentations 3:22-23 These verses say it&#8217;s possible to start each new day with a fresh beginning &#8212; clean slate. God promises that His great love for us and unfailing compassion (or mercies, as some translations put it) are new every morning. So, whether we are a morning songbird, or a night owl, the point is that everyday is a brand new day with God. So, say: &#8220;Good-bye YESTERDAY, with all your mistakes and worries and fears, and good morning, TODAY, with the opportunity for NEW LIFE!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, I admit it&#8230;..I AM a morning person.
