12:33am-Finished my nighttime routine a little late, because we watched a movie. As you can see, I have a light that doesn't work, but you get the idea.
5:19am-Woke up a minute, before my alarm went off. 😒
This is when I have my personal devotion and prayer. My verse for the morning:
I thought this was a good one for today, since I am sharing part of my life with you. After my devotion, I head to the kitchen. I usually program the coffee pot at night to start brewing at 5am. I am always glad to see when it actually did what I told it to. 😋
5:39am-I take coffee and water to my Hubby to wake him up.
5:43am-Making breakfast...everyone likes something a little different. The seasoning I put on my husband's egg is a mixture of: black pepper, no salt salt, cayenne pepper and turmeric.
These dishes are the survivors from past sets. It is on my list to get a new dish set soon and let these poor over used pieces rest in peace.
5:57am-Wake up "kids" (the 2 at home right now are 16 and 22). Empty dishwasher (I try to start it every night, before bed. I unload it first thing and then it is ready to receive dirty dishes throughout the day and not pile up in my sink.)
Before I load any more dishes, I put the dish detergent in. This is our signal that what is in the dishwasher is dirty.
Running late for family Bible Reading!
6:06am-Second wake-up call.
6:09am-Still waiting for kids to drag themselves into our room...
6:12am-All accounted for...Waking up Hubby again...

6:49am-Finished Bible Reading, talking about plans for the day.

Brunch time!
I hope you enjoyed this look into my mornings. Not everyday is exactly the same, but for the most part these are things I do most every day. Most of my Writing for my books, happens in the afternoons and sometimes at night before I start my nighttime routines. I didn't put everything in here. There were a few conversations and minor things I didn't bore you with. Thanks for joining me and hope to see you next week! God Bless!
Let me know some of your morning routines in the comments. I'd love to hear about them!
In Christ,
Sandy
