Waking Up

One of our favorite ways to wake up Munchkin #1 on the days we go to our favorite place of prayer, is to grab one of his guinea pigs (JP is featured today!) and stick it in Munchkin #1's bed. Sometimes, Munchkin #1 doesn't wake-up, and we find JP curled up asleep under the covers next to the munchkin! (Mum - notice the large stuffed toy wolf next to Munchkin #1? He LOVES that toy!)

Most mornings, the only reason I'm able to roll out of bed is because I have something that requires my immediate attention (packing lunch boxes, driving kids to school, going to favorite place of prayer etc...). When I have a day off from the regular routine, I find myself still snoozing happily at 10:30 in the morning! It seems like as soon as I have a break, my body goes into sloth mode.

I think this can happen in other aspects of our lives as well. For me, I've been asleep, spiritually speaking, for a few years now. When we moved away from our home country, I found myself shifting certain aspects of my life to the back burner on the cook top. Now, those same aspects are being thrust to the forefront again. It feels like I'm waking up from a long sleep. As I open my eyes again and have a good look at what's around me, I'm just not sure what this morning is going to bring. But, I know it certainly will not be boring!

I better go grab another coffee just in case.

Peace.
