My alarm didn’t wake me up when it went off this morning. I
used my iPhone set to Big Ben. I was
dreaming about getting ready to go out on a mission project with a group of
fellow church members. I worked that
ringing into my dream wondering whose alarm was going off and why they didn’t
turn it off. As we went from one
location to the other I could still hear that ring. Finally after it had rung for seven minutes,
I did wake up. I think that a lot of people sleep through life. Yes they get out of bed every morning, but
their life is sort of on automatic pilot.
Everything is so planned, so routine that they really don’t have to
invest much of themselves to make things happen. Instead of living in the
present, their minds are constantly daydreaming about other things. I picked this scripture for the words “stay
alert and you will have plenty.” Life will be richer if we pay attention and
put our focus on each moment – savor life instead of sleeping through it.
Ask yourself – Am I really awake today?
God in Heaven, Thank you for this day of life and all that
it may hold. Please help us to pay full attention to this wonderful gift and to
be fully alive each day. In Jesus’ name
we pray.
Have a blessed day and great weekend. I hope you will join me or attend a church
near you this Sunday.
Paige
