Why I Wakeup Early?

I Get Up Early, So that I May GET UP EARLY!


When my brothers and I were little boys, we were taught the bedtime prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray The Lord my Soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray The Lord my Soul to take. Amen." I'm sure many of us learned that exact same prayer! :)

I still say that prayer today! I still pray to God to KEEP my Soul protected and if I don't live through the night, I pray for Him to take my Soul into Paradise where I shall be with Jesus.

Yes, I get up early to read, to pray and to share my time with The Lord, and afterwards, I share with all of you. I write this because I was asked last night why do I get up so early? The response came to me this morning as I was getting ready to leave the house...as one day, I will leave this life and this place. I get up early so that I MAY GET UP EARLY!!!

Yes, one day, there's going to be a Great Gettin Up Morning and I pray to be included with all the Saints when we will be called into the Sky to meet Jesus...

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ WILL RISE FIRST. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (I Thessalonians 4:16-18 NKJV)

You see, whether I'm raised up or Called up...it really doesn't matter... I'm believing and trusting in Jesus, so that I may GO UP!!

Good Morning everyone!
