Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden." - NLT
It's a Monday. If you're not a morning person (and I'm not) Mondays can be the slowest point of the week. Especially Monday mornings...
While my instincts want to complain and be grumpy that it's the beginning of a long long long (did I mention long) week, I'm taken-a-back by what Jesus says on the Sermon on the Mount.
We are the city on the hill. We are supposed to be the light of the world. We should be thankful and grateful that we have even woken up this morning. There are people out there that did not wake up, that did not get the opportunity to bless someone else's day. I mean come-on, there aren't too many better feelings than blessing others!
Every day just gives me another opportunity to do God's work and be the salt and light of the world. So why am I grumpy about having to wake up at 6:40? I have friends/co-workers that wake up at 5!
PLUS, I don't know about where you guys are waking up, but where I am, it's a ridiculously beautiful day. "I got birds flying high, sun in the sky, breeze drifting on by...and I'm feeling GOOD."
Day 2 reflection: Work on becoming the salt of the earth and light of the world and be more appreciate with the fact that I've been giving another day to be God's workmanship.
