Choosing Joy Challenge Day 1: Monday

I'm deliberately choosing joy for twenty-one days. To find out more click here.

There is nothing like starting a JOY challenge on a Monday. Right? I just know you all are nodding your head. I am nodding mine right there with you. Let’s be honest some of you may even have laughed a bit. Laughter is good for you know.

Let’s get started………

Monday mornings come after the day of  rest.

Monday mornings are the day that our eyes awake after a night of slumber.

Monday mornings are filled with precious time spent with the Lord.

Monday mornings are filled with good morning hugs from those you love.

Monday morning air has the aroma of  rain falling from the sky and much needed coffee.

Monday mornings the children gather up their things as they head off to school.

My heart fills with gratitude that our children are blessed to attend school and learn.

My heart fills with sorrow for those that are less fortunate.

Monday mornings continue with empty cereal bowls and half drank water cups.

For just a moment there is a pause. “Thank you Lord, for blessing us with enough food and clean water to drink.”  We will TRUST you with all of our heart as we head into today. Thank you Father for the Joy of another Monday.

Let’s encourage and pray for one another as we set out on this journey of deliberately choosing and looking for joy in each of our moments.

So tell me what brings you joy on this Monday?

Blessings,

Rachel
