It's time to wake up

Mornings may be a time when we need spiritual awakening even more than an alarm clock!

Tony Lobl

Some people have to go to great lengths to rouse themselves from sleep in time for work or school. From loud alarms to passionate urging by persistent parents, there's a whole lot of waking work going on each new day!

I used to have one of those radio alarms. I would be aware of it turning on, and I might be aware of a song or someone speaking. But often I'd sleep right through it all and still sleep some after it had eventually turned itself off!

I became dissatisfied with this situation. The nature of my work was such that oversleeping hadn't yet interfered with my effectiveness on the job. But it felt like an indulgence ill in tune with what Christian Science was teaching me about the unselfish purpose of man. So I prayed about the situation. Nothing changed immediately.
