I woke up this morning with this thought, "Why am I getting up this morning?". This is not the first time nor will it be the last that I have this thought. Now when this question came to mind so did many answers because I have so much to do today. Errands to run and places to be.

But I read a scripture that answered my question for me.

2nd Corinthians 5:9
"Therefore also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him."

Everyday that I wake up I should have on my mind nothing but pleasing my Heavenly Father. I try real hard to please Wendy and Logan by doing things throughout the day that they want me to do. Things to help them out and make them happy. I have others that I talk with, sometimes on a daily basis who I want to be a friend to.

But how many times have I gone through the day worried about all my "things" to do and not once thought about the real reason I was able to wake up this morning. Not accomplish my will but doing exactly what the scripture says, "Please Him".

"Lord, I want to please YOU today. While I may get busy working on my earthly duties help me not to get so busy that I waste this day when it comes to pleasing you. Help me to see every opportunity to do what YOU want me to do today."

If I can trully wake up every morning with this scriputre as my guide for the day, things will have to go better. Because I will be looking at my day through His eyes instead of mind.
