The Bible Says Get Up!

She's four years old with long brown hair and big brown eyes.  She makes up long stories and original songs and loves to twirl around in her princess dresses and dance and be noticed.  She has a plan for her day and for your day and is ready to debate if things go any other way.

She comes in the guest room at 7 am with two or her three brothers.  All three are energetic and ready to "play",  pulling on grandpa and gramma to get out of bed!   Longing for more sleep I tell them all that when we wake up, we play a praise song before getting out of bed.   So my grandson, 5 years old and the oldest of the family, sings "Jesus Loves Me".

Kora, our budding song writer, follows with one of her originals.  Singing louding she says "The Bible says GET UP!  The Bible says GET UP!"

What a great day to start our day!

And the next week, in our weekly Bible study we were reading from John 5:8, which says, "GET UP.  PIck up your mat and walk!"
