Thoughts from a Rambling Redhead
Gospel Songs in the Morning
I listen to Gospel songs when I get ready. Why? 1. God is glorified 2. Get’s God lifted up 3. Gets my thinking right 4. Lifts my mood 5. Helps my heart 6. Helps my attitude to be right
Now, doing this every morning does not guarantee a good day. It doesn’t even guarantee that you won’t have ‘accidents’ throughout the day. Case in point, I was having ‘one of those days’ the other day. It seemed like everything was going wrong, or I wasn’t thinking straight. The ‘icing on the cake,’ though, was when my husband came to my office to get me and looked at me and said, ‘You have chocolate all down your shirt’. What? What in the world? AND on my white shirt?? It was on one of the days I didn’t teach, so I had staff, students, and alumni in my office and chatted with them!!! How long had it been there? I looked down, and it wasn’t just a little spot! My chocolate protein drink had leaked all down my blouse, and I didn’t even know it. I quickly grabbed my Tide pen and went to work on it. You know, that could have ruined my day. Sad to admit that some days, it would have. But not that day. Why? Listening to the right music in the morning lifted my mood, helped my heart, and gave me the right attitude. You should try it sometime. Have your own little ‘worship’ time with God. It really does make a difference.
