How to Start Your Day

 By Walt Perryman

When you wake up would be a good time to start.
Then close your eyes and listen with your heart!

Abandon your ego and put any self-pride away,
And listen to the ‘silence’ for what God has to say.

Then it is time to converse with God, one on one,
But, when you are finished, you are not yet done.

Hang on to every word that God has said to you,
Do what he tells you and what you said you’ll do.

Then you can go out and face the world today,
But through it all, listen to what God has to say.

God is available 24 hours a day, but satin is too.
You can only hear one, that choice is up to you.
