The Best Part of a Day

What is the single best part of your day?  That moment you look forward to?  Is it the first sip of your morning coffee?  Is it hearing the kids greet you with an energetic, "Good morning!"  Is it when 5:00 comes and you get to go home?  Maybe you have been waiting all day today to find out who will be voted off American Idol tonight.

Have we come to the place where one moment tops all those moments combined by well over a mile?  In the midst of your day, how much do you long for that moment - be it in the morning, evening, or whenever - that you get on your knees, open your Bible, and pray, "Heavenly Father...."  Is that the best moment of your day?  I want it to be for me!

The best part of my day is when I get that quiet time with God, somewhere between 2 and 6 a.m., depending on when I have to get up.  Everyone else is still asleep, and the house is wonderfully peaceful.  I make a cup of tea and put together some kind of breakfast, usually some toast and fruit.  I take my food and drink into the living room (the only time I allow myself to eat in there!), sit on the couch, read my daily devotional out of "My Utmost For His Highest" and ponder that for about a half-hour.  Then I open up my Bible and spend another half-hour or more in the Word, reading and praying.  Definitely, definitely my most favorite part of the day!!  :-)  I often go back for seconds at bedtime...

Well, now that I am back to working on the 'east side' of town (about a 40 minute drive)...I look forward to that drive - REALLY! 

It might sound odd or that I'm multi-tasking, but the drive is routine for me, so it really allows for another chance for quiet time for me to talk with the Lord about ANYTHING on my mind.

t's a great way to not get upset in traffic or sunglare, too!

I have my Bible in my car and when I get to work I can read scripture after praying and then I find I can start my day with a much better outlook than when I do not.

Keep a bible in your car if you're a commuter.  I've found that on lunch if I"m out it's another chance to sit quietly and read, even if it's a few verses.  Works great at railroad crossings too :) 

Another favorite part of my day is coming home, my son looking out the front curtains and jumping and waving when he sees me getting out of my car   :)
