What get's you out of bed?

I know working with people is rewarding and exciting.  It's also a drain.  Actually, it's a mixture of up, down, sideways, painful, exhilarating, boring, fun, depressing.....and so on.

I read a post recently (titled, "I Sure Don't Feel Like A Pastor Today") and one of the comments on that post stuck out to me.  In particular for pastors, here's how it reads:

"The people who really get the mission and vision of our church… I get out of bed for them.

The people who really tick me off because they want to hear only the old hymns… I get out of bed despite them.

The people who have no idea what this Jesus stuff is about… I get out of bed mostly for them.

The people who want me to be all things to all men… I try to ignore them mostly

The people who believe but don’t have it all together yet… I get out of bed for them, and when they grow they energize me.

The people who are legalistic and narrow-minded… We all recommend the church down the street to them… "

I wonder what gets you out of bed?
