Morning Meditation

Morning is one of the most beautiful times of the day. More than just the rising of sun or the end of a good night's sleep or even the smell of a cup of coffee, it is the beginning of a new day ... another day live our life!

A bit of a thought in the morning can put the whole day in perspective. Sure you have to go to work. Sure you have to go to school. Sure you have many, many things to do. But you are alive and the whole day is in front of you.

Sometimes we have to make decisions about what to do or not to do. That is part of life. Maybe we should think for a moment, as we drink that coffee, comb that hair, drive that car, ride that bus, etc. What is the most important thing I can do today?

Of everything we have to do, the simplest thing is usually the most important. When we think of this, it puts the whole day in perspective with the real reason we are alive.

Being alive is not just being active. Being alive is not just being a responsible person. Being alive is not just living and doing things during the day.

Being alive is showing our care and concern to one another ... to everyone we meet today.

Imagine Jesus getting up with the same sun as you do and facing all the activities of the day.

The simplest thing that Jesus wanted to do is the most important for us to do each and every day.

Wow! Morning is beautiful when you stop and think about all the people that you can make happy that day by showing a bit of care and concern

... by loving them the way Jesus does. Now that is being alive!
