Are you ever excited for a Monday?
It usually means back to work, back to school, cleaning the house, laundry, back to the daily grind of life.
What if we looked at Mondays differently? Start looking at them as a new opportunity to expand God's Kingdom? A new day to get out there and live out what we learned on Sunday?
Usually after church on Sunday I am feeling great, wanting to live out life and be more like Jesus and "go forth and make disciples".
But then Monday comes, and it is up early, making lunches {forgot to make my mom's this am for her!} getting the hubby off to work, staying up to get some studying done for Perspectives before the kids wake up~ this morning that didn't happen Chloe was up at 6:30 and then we snuggled and went back to bed... Then I look at the house, the dishes, the laundry, the floors!!! YIKES! And it all seems to daunting! But what if we started to look at our Mondays differently?
*Being thankful to do the laundry because we have clothes to wear and clothe our families.
*Being thankful to do dishes, because that means we have food to eat.
*Being thankful to clean a house, because that means that we have a house!
*Being thankful to go to work, because it means we have a job!
*Being thankful to go to school, because it means we have the opportunity to get an education!
*Being thankful that we have to go grocery shopping with 3 screaming kids, because we have $ to buy food (fresh food!) and we have 3 beautiful babies!
This month lets look at our Mondays,
Not as a dreadful day but instead as a thankful day!
Being thankful in all we do!
And then see how the rest of the week will play out!
Join me on this months challenge! There will be a link up on Tuesday to share how your Monday went! So come back and join me to change Monday from dreadful to THANKFUL!
