This morning I was the lifeguard for the opening shift at the campus pool. It’s generally a quiet shift, people come in to swim laps, and so the cliental tends to be older. The difficulty with this shift is that when you are tired, watching people swim laps will at times makes you more tired. This morning I was wonderfully awake, but after a half an hour of singing to myself (yes, I sing quietly while people swim, it keeps me awake and upbeat) I thought about all of the people in my life facing challenging moments and all of the struggles I was dealing with in my life. It realized that while I was sitting there watching people swim, God had given me a wonderfully quiet moment to pray. It’s amazing how many people you can think of to pray for when you have a lot of time on your hands. Sure, I was still watching people swim, and walking around occasionally, but still; in my heart I was turning over all of my worries to Christ. It is truly a wonderful way to start your day.
