Good Morning, Papa!

2/28/1999

Just a reminder that saying, “Good Morning : )” from the heart to Father when you open your eyes first thing, and singing to Him in that first moment... is precious to Him. Our simple first thought, first affection means very much to Him and His Son, and His Spirit... 8:11 a.m.

Remember what we thought about this morning? That Father loves it when our first waking thought—is affection for Him? A “good morning” and a song to Him first thing? Just to illustrate the Truth of how much it means to Him... Picture standing over the crib of your sleeping baby. And then, you are surprised by the fact that they stir a little and awake. The baby peeks open their eyes, looks straight at you... and breaks into a gorgeous little smile, just for you and because you’re there. Don’t you KNOW that would melt your heart to see that sweet baby smile at you, with sparkling big eyes, with the first moment of their day? ...So often we can Understand OUR Father’s feelings, and discern how to make Him happy, by considering the “shadow” experiences that He gives us to help us to find Him. SO, think again at how much it will mean to Father to give HIM your first thought and first smile of the morning, rather than ignoring Him, and first looking around at your crib, and wondering where your rattle and pacifier are! : ) Know what I mean? 4:17 p.m.
