At least once or twice a week, the morning gets away from me and I forget, or simply don't take the time-- to make my bed.
Coincidentally, those are also the mornings I don't say my morning prayers. Making my bed = my prayer reminder. When I do not do one, I do not do the other. They go hand in hand.
Its no surprise that the unmade bed days are my bad days. Days where I can't seem to keep my head on straight and prioritize. Days where life seems cluttered, rushed, messy, frustrating. Every time I walk past my unmade bed, I am reminded & disappointed in myself, knowing that missed my opportunity and I started the day off on the wrong foot.
My friend's grandma had a little quote hanging in her kitchen that read, "A day hemmed in prayer rarely unravels."
It has stuck with me all these years-- and I believe it to be true.
