Monday is a great day to start on any new project. Mondays are almost like New Years Day on a much smaller scale. I'm being real here... have you ever started a diet on say... Thursday afternoon?
Monday is the perfect day to concentrate on what a blessing your children and family truly are. During your personal time in the morning go through each member of your household and think of how you appreciate them and their individual flare and the joy they have brought to your life.
Sometimes this may be difficult if a particular person is causing you tremendous stress, so go back further than the present circumstance and concentrate on a time when they blessed you, and how grateful you are for those times. And project those positive thoughts into your relationship today.
It is very important to allow ourselves to over flow with thanksgiving and gratefulness for the souls the Lord has given to share in the struggles and victories of life. By soaring with our thoughts to the heights of gratitude the mundane dirt and hassle of just going through the day suddenly takes on a new crisp glow, and a renewed purpose.
So Monday is Appreciation Day. Look around and see that the Lord is good, and that His love endures forever (in your home, in your life, in your family... forever.)
Remember keep it basic and start today!
