I know. "Rejoice" on a Monday? I get that that may be a little cruel.
Oh well, such is life.
Woah, hold your stones. I'm kidding.
Just put on your favorite music, if that a possibility for you (fyi: it's not for me. ugh), and hear me out. I've been thinking about gratitude lately, and I'm realizing an attitude of gratitude has a lot more power than we understand. According to Thessalonians it is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you {me}. With that in mind, I'm shaking up my Monday with a gratitude list (in no particular order- so don't judge me).
- My first cup of coffee (and everyone after that)
- God's protection, especially the moments I'm unaware of
- The sweet Greek man who brings me his brownies to work
- Mercy new every morning
- Sunsets
- Food on my table
- New opportunities
- Adventures in trust
- My car, Old Faithful. Twelve years old and still kicking, even though she is showing her age
- Freedom- more ways than I can count
- A daddy that not only brings truth every Sunday, but lives it- a Godly example to his family
- A mama who is the greatest example of a Proverbs 31 woman I have ever met
- The older of my two younger brothers- keeps me laughing and my favorite movie buddy, when we can agree on the movie
- The younger of my two younger brothers- the one who calls me "Jennie" and fascinates me with every "cute" thing he does
- My group- the ones who care about me- whether spiritual, physical, mental, or emotional, they care.
- You guys who read here- my bloggie friends (the best)
- Books that challenge me to be better- ultimately, the Word that calls me to new life.
- Weekends, though always too short, are the best part of every week.
- This Monday, which is looking a little better in light of how blessed I am.
Enjoy your Monday, Ladies and Gents!
In His Name,
Jennifer
