Good morning, friend!

If you have read my 30 day devotional, you know well the scripture that I am about to write…

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life.

Psalm 143:8

I cannot think of a better way to start our day than these words from God’s Holy Bible!

For many years, I have written these words in my prayer journal in the wee early morning hours.

His Words are LIFE to my weary heart.

Good morning, sweet friends! Rise and Shine and give God the glory!

My sweet momma used to come into my bedroom in the mornings when I was growing up singing that phrase.

During those teenage years, I would roll my eyes and crawl deeper in to my covers at the sound. Ha!

Of course, I did the same thing to my children as they were growing up as well.

I am sure they felt the same way I did at times! :)

Good morning, sweet friends!

Guess what?!

“This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it!” Psalm 118:24

I have this scripture on a tea towel hanging from my oven. I see it every single day.

It is a reminder to my heart that today is a new day and I WILL rejoice and be glad!

Sometimes, we just need little reminders, don’t we? The simplest of things can spark a great amount of JOY.
