WPC MORNINGS:The Rhythm Of the Day

Posted on by under Photography

This week the Daily Post has asked us to show WHAT OUR MORNINGS LOOK LIKE.

To me the morning is the reestablishing of a rhythm that was called to a halt with the final good night. It is a return to the slow. constant and intentional meter I marched to the day before. It is a welcoming of routine.For me, that return to routine starts with a morning walk with my two little friends Jacopo and Mercedes. Mercedes is the one in pink. Jacopo always wears blue.

It is a walk around the same block we visit three times daily. I must have a hundred pictures of this house.

But routine  always involves finding a variation on the theme. Everything living changes. This morning we noted Father Mike’s new dog fence at the rectory. As with all new things of course we must express our customary dismay with a healthy bark or two. No worries we didn’t wake up Father Mike or his border collie, Liam. I checked.

After our walk. Jacopo and Mercedes always settle down to breakfast and I settle down to my first cup’o Joe.

With coffee in hand it is time for morning devotions first with this book.

and then with these books.


With life’s rhythm established I am now ready to meet my day!

Here are some other mornings from across the world.

 

The Quiet Life Of A Country Pastor Pt 7

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

Well not everyday is as busy with meetings as yesterday was. That is a good thing because there needs to be some time to prepare for more meetings and to process the information you have gotten from others.

I got up at 6:30 this morning to get ready and spend some time in private prayer in my work room.

Most of my work today will be done from my office. I have to prep for my second worship rehearsal tomorrow with team 2. I also have to send invites to the upcoming network worship conference to some of the worship pastors in our section. Then I have to prep for the council of churches meeting tomorrow where I have been asked to give an update on a local community project.

At some point I have to prep next week’s sermon and finish up answering and filing the e-mails left over from vacation.

But right now it is time for lunch! Praise God!
