* Work comes before play, hard comes before easy, discipline comes before success.

* The morning time is reserved for work - especially working on your relationship with God.

* There is a time for play and a time for work.

* Kids want to play all the time - that’s their nature.

* They have to learn that play should come as a reward for work, not a routine that replaces it.

* Can you imagine going to an adult birthday party at 8AM on a Tuesday morning?

* Nobody would come. Why? Adults don’t party at that time - they work.

* The morning time is for productive activity, not playful activity.

* Ecclesiastes 11:6 - “Plant your seed in the morning…”
