Resurrection and the life,
I dangle my feet off the edge of my bed. Oh, it would be so good to swing them back into bed and go back to sleep. The mornings can come so quickly especially when we find it difficult to fall asleep. But we must rise, we cannot stay asleep for there are things for us to do, a life for us to live. Strengthen us for the rising and for the living so that our day might be guided and shaped by your eternal love. Let me love my neighbor and care for your creation. Allow me the wisdom and courage to make the very most of this day for the sake of those beyond me.
Through Christ, Amen.
