Don't Role Over

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to get up in the morning. I heard that line when I was a teen. It came back many years later when experiencing a bad day at work where nothing seemed to go the way you expect it. They are only two instances where I had opportunity to take a step back and wonder. . .

We are at another one of those times right now when we have been told we can back off on the isolating and . . . well, you know what happened. It’s not that we were not warned and people were told to go slow and stay safe. Well, many didn’t, and . . . ‘sometimes it doesn’t pay to . . .’

But I think it’s a great day to get up and get focused and come out on top. Our world has been built on possibilities. It’s our human condition where, when we reach a barrier of any type, we dig in our heels and push forward. It’s a time when we can believe in ourselves and the power of overcoming any obstacle.

Maybe it’s more than that. Maybe it’s in these moments where we see what is ultimately waiting for us at the other end of the tunnel.  And these individual moments give us hope and a clear mind to carry on and “GET IT DONE”.  2 Corinthians 4:16-17 says it best. “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all”.

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to get up in the morning but if we do, the rewards are out of this world.

Something to think about – as we jump out of bed one more time.
