Rise and Shine!

Rise and Shine and give God the glory, glory!

Do you remember that little chorus?  I love getting up before everyone else is stirring, sitting on my deck and just giving Him praise for another new day.

A day to live my life for Him.

 

A day to love on my husband and children.

A day to be productive and busy.

A day to start over.

A day to just enjoy each moment as it comes my way.

Mondays generally are a day that people grumble their way through.  I love Mondays.  Mondays are marvelous.  Mondays are magnificent.  Mondays are full of a multitude of blessings!

This week I'm thankful for blessings #2166-2170.
