GET UP EARLY!!!

I had this weird dream last night…well not too unusual for me but this one was interesting. Upon awakening, I remembered bits and pieces but couldn’t quiet get it focused. I kept trying to remember and finally…it came back to me. A group of people were around this lady, asking about her beauty secrets and how she’d managed to look so good, and young, she was in her 60’s or early seventies. I just remembered her saying, “I get up early, and get started, have my breakfast and do my work”, or something to that effect. That statement has really haunted me all day…just back from the hair salon, I’m still thinking of “I get up early”.
Well, I will take this one for me, you see I’m always telling my friend Shirley, that I’m not an early riser, she wants to walk with me, but she’s an early bird. I’ve been really trying to walk with her because she needs a buddy and we live on the same street.

A month or so ago, she had a heart surgery, and walking is what the docs told her she HAD to do to fully recover. I’ve made up my mind, I am getting up earlier, maybe God is trying to tell me something…I walk mornings and afternoons, but I can be a bit lazy and stay in bed too long, thus blowing valuable time! Now that I'm moving, I had better REALLY, get up early and get ready to move.....really move.

I have always enjoyed sleep, and I thank God because good sound sleep is as important as good nutrition and exercise. Sleep is the BOMB! Many conditions can be made better simply by getting a good nights sleep, and some conditions have come about because of a deficiency of good deep sleep.. So.... I will challenge myself to get up earlier and get moving more, there’s always room for improvement. And besides, Shirley needs me…
God often spoke to his people in the night visions and in dreams. Yes, I too will "get up early"....
