Some of us wake up either groggy or refreshed, feeling eager or worried about the day ahead. Isn't is nice to spend at least 5 or 10 minutes of our first minutes of the day in prayer?
It has become a "technical obligation" on my part before but I think lately, it was become my daily refreshment and I can enjoy it while taking a bath and singing out a good song to add to it.

I spend the first 15 minutes of my day, going around the house and picking up anything that was left out before going to bed. I also get the laundry and dishes going and let the dog outside. I also feed the fish and do the dishes. I then sign onto the computer to work for the day.

yes what a beautiful way to start a day and to end one, in prayer. I should do this more often. I usually start me day just feeling sore and achy and letting it pretty much take over my life at times.

Hi jeanniemay! As soon as I wake up, I rush to the bathroom and while doing my thing...I thank God for waking me up in time to hear the 6:30 mass each morning. It is sometimes so hard to wake up especially when I usually sleep so late. haha..Then I hurriedly dress up and just drink 2 glasses of warm water and off to church i go. I do spend my 1st hour with God and it is such a good way to start my day. And if I am not able to do so, I just have my prayers said each morning. Just my thoughts friend! Take care and have a nice day! :)

Hi JeannieMay... I haven't thought of this until you ask. I haven't thought that each time I wake up, first I pray to God for another day that he has given me. Second, when I get out of my room, I want to see the face of my dad, my mom, and my sisters. I just feel so good every time that I get to start my day with the glimpse of those people whom I cherish most in my life. It is my way of feeling blessed each day.

I agree it is a great way to start your day. I don't sing but I do go to two sites that have the scripture of the day. I love to read them and then I try really hard to focus on them during the day and live them out. When I get up I get on the computer usually but before checking mail or going to Mylot I go to those two sites to get my inspiration for the day.
