Monday, Monday

Monday. A word that ignites a variety of emotions in people. If you are heading back to work to a job that you really don't like, Monday may bring a sense of dread. Been there, done that! If you are starting a new job on Monday, there is probably a sense of nervousness mixed with relief at having a job. If you are leaving for a cruise, you are most likely filled with excitement of the adventures that lay ahead in the days to come. For most of us, Monday is the day we get back to our routine. Our weekends are anything but routine, especially Saturdays. Monday is the day we get back to normal: getting up at a consistent time, daily routines, going to bed a consistent time, etc. For me, there is nothing exciting or nothing to dread about an average Monday. Shame on me! I should eagerly await and look expectantly to each new day the Lord gives me! I mean, His mercies are new every morning. That alone is something to look forward to! Each day is an opportunity to live out my faith in Christ. It's another chance to share the love of Christ to someone who doesn't know Him. It's another chance to be His ambassador on this earth. It's another day I get to share with my husband. It's another day to praise His name. I want to be the person who wakes up each day, even Monday, and says, "Okay Lord. What are we doing for Your kingdom today?"  How about you? Will you accept the challenge to face each day with eager expectation, seeking Him and how you can do His will for that day? Let me know how your decision to do so changes you as well as the world around you.
