Wake up and get up
This morning I was adorned with a special message from a special visitor. The visitor informed me that, while working with individuals experiencing irreversible unconsciousness with complete loss of brain function, a precious reminder surfaced and delivered a greater appreciation for the Gift of life.
Life is not to be neglected, rejected, or taken for granted but embraced like a mother does her newborn. Right now, in this life, there is someone who needs assistance with daily living activities that most exercise without any thought or hindrances. Even more, anatomical ocurrences like blinking of eyes, shifting for greater comfort, scratching an itch, bending, straightening, pushing and lifting are impossible for some. So blessed are we if we are able to do these things. Each day we wake up and get up, we are blessed to be a blessing to those who are unable mentally or physically indulge in certain things in life.
Wake up and Get up. There are so many opportunities before us to help those who are less fortunate and/or in need. They may not have the issue mentioned above, but any issue that hinders their ability to experience life to the full, is an issue. If it is revealed to you, that's your internal clock's alarm to Wake Up and Get Up and respond to their need to be awakened to the Gift of Life.
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it (Proverbs 3:27).
Father God
May we be ready to wake up and get up when our internal alarms alert us to the need of others to be awakened to your love, mercy and grace.
Believe, Love, & Obey God
