What Kind of Morning-Person Are You?

(whole precious page below) I wish I was a 'don't-hit-snooze!' morning person, but I'm not.I tell myself hitting snooze helps prepare me to crawl out of that big, black hole of cozy oblivion, but it is in reality a bit of a lazy habit I intend to break! Keep me accountable, okay??😅💓 Also I am a 'coffee-before-talky-please' personwhich I have no inclination to change... Another gorgeous day well on its way...'God, guide and keep'🙏 Across dawn’s slumber-heavy world alarm clocks buzz and beepAs drowsy bodies are uncurled and startled from sweet sleepSome hit new day’s ground running, others stumble to a cupOf fresh brewed tea or java, yawning, stretching, waking up Some celebrate cognizance with verbose vigor, some groanSome at best, muster unintelligible monotoneSome leap like fleet gazelles, while others hit snooze and deflateFor ten more minutes before it is time to acclimate …to ‘night is done!! awake, awake, it’s time to rise and shine’For today is a-wasting like a flower on time’s vineDreamlands jolt to reality beneath unfolding skiesWhere duty calls and bumper-to-bumper traffic replies Blink-blink, morning turns pink, as slumber’s blanket dissipatesSome sing for joy, some suffer pain and sorrow’s testing weights🙏🙏😥Some exercise, some wise in their own eyes don’t think to praySome do; but all share in the common ground we call Today © Janet Martin This hymn, learned  when I was a child,helped to shape a lifelong, holy habit!! Lyrics by Mary A. Kidder Ere you left your room this morning,Did you think to pray?In the name of Christ our Savior,Did you sue for loving favor,As a shield today?Refrain:Oh, how praying rests the weary!Prayer will change the night to day;So when life seems dark and dreary,Don’t forget to pray.When you met with great temptation,Did you think to pray?By His dying love and merit,Did you claim the Holy SpiritAs your guide and stay?When your heart was filled with anger,Did you think to pray?Did you plead for grace, my brother,That you might forgive anotherWho had crossed your way?When sore trials came upon you,Did you think to pray?When your soul was bowed in sorrow,Balm of Gilead did you borrowAt the gates of day? As regular visitors may guess, I am readingthe beautiful book of Isaiah right now!Today's reading included this portion-
