I actually love Mondays.
Always have.
I wish sometimes I could spread the Monday 'joy' to my kids.
After praying about how I can encourage them to choose happier responses to such a 'dismal day' in their eyes, I decided to asked them to count their blessings.
It was a s-t-r-e-t-c-h.
Their first responses were "nothing"...but I have no room for that attitude.
That is so unacceptable...as I see this day as another day graciously given from above.
We do have so much to be thankful for!
As we began brainstorming our thankfulness, I could sense their frustrations of the early morning melt away and smiles were replacing misery!
I am thankful for having so much to be thankful for this morning...and watching my kids experience the joy of being thankful.
Just had to share our new perspective with you.
What are you thankful for this morning?

I'm thankful for a great babysitter (we just found her!) where I can go and enjoy an evening out with friends.
I'm also so thankful for enough to eat and a comfortable home to live in. We're reminded every day how many people don't have anything close to the comforts like we take for granted all the time.
And I'm thankful for encouraging blogs like this one!
great idea! ....
