I am with you--not a morning person. I can't even bless the Lord without a cup of coffee. Call it fibro fog or whatever you want but my mind just won't focus in the AM. Can't even make the coffee and doing good to be able to pour it. But after my eyes can focus and my mind is more alert, I must remember to rejoice in the Lord and come before His presence with thanksgiving. I wish it were my first thought. My God is not coffee. I am not addicted to it. I just don't wake up without 1 or 2 cups for the day and couldn't wake up before 10 before I started drinking coffee. Thank you again. It is far better to awake counting our blessing that to try to sleep by counting them. And it is so good to be free from the heaviness of guilt and regret. They are the chains of misery that we are freed from. We can be filled with joy even in foggy morning minds, just because we are His. You bet we can. I make coffee too, but when I let my dogs out I see the sun, some time it's just Thank you. I will get better as the morning wears on.. God bless you my sister!

So that he could preach others about Christ. Though in chains, he wanted to be free only when Christ set him free. Even if it meant in death or being a maytr. As earth was not his real home, only heaven and Christ were. As he wanted people to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not a person who likes stress and find stress, let's give thanks and praise. If you are not really a task oriented person and have to get your work done - let's give thanks and praise. In all difficult circumstances - let's give thanks and praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
