AWAKE IN THE MORNING, and the first thing you do, thank God for it, even if you don’t feel particularly happy about the day which is to come.
… Come to God again with two convictions.
The one is that you are God’s own, and the other is that this day is also God’s own; it is absolutely new, absolutely fresh.
… This day is blessed by God, it is God’s own, and now let us go into it.
You walk in this day as God’s own messenger; whomever you meet, you meet in God’s own way.  -Anthony Bloom

    Actually, I’m currently awake in the middle of the night because I’ve got a stinking cold, but I’m trying to follow Anthony Bloom’s advice anyway!

    Cheers!

    I too liked this post. What I do is I also pray that I am in God’s perfect will today rather than His permissive will.

    I am sorry you are sick Tim, you must be, reading my blog in the middle of the night! Rest up and get well soon.:^)
