This morning was rough. Ryan and I were sluggish to get the day started. The kids were super grumpy. It felt like a Monday for sure. But that's just it...it's not Monday. It's Friday. You know, TGIF?? Well, I suppose it doesn't matter what day it is, we always should be thankful for a new day. So, even though we didn't feel like being happy, we took a moment before Ryan left for work this morning to thank God for blessing us with a new day and asked Him to help us have joyful hearts. Did it work? Yeah, I think it did. We've still had more downs than ups today, and I am exhausted and dreaming of this:
...But overall I am thankful for today. Thankful for my two little blessings, no matter how much work they are. Thankful for my amazing hubby. Thankful for a merciful God. Oh...the list of what I am thankful for could get long. So, I'll save that for another post.
I just wanted to encourage you that even when you seem to wake up on the wrong side of the bed and it looks like it's going to be one of those days, stop and pray. Ask God to help you change your attitude and pray the same for your family. Choose to be thankful and have joy in your heart no matter the circumstances. It works!
