It was our wake up call.

In Mycenae, Mom stood at the bottom of the stairs in our two-story house.

‘Time to wake up; you need to get ready for school.’

No siree, there was no wind up alarm clocks in our upstairs bedrooms!

The sound of Mom’s voice carried well. We knew very well that she did not want us to delay. Admittedly, I did not like her early morning wake up calls. Yet, they were necessary.

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: ‘Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.’ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:8-16 NKJ).”
