Who Loves Mondays???



Uh Oh, bad choice for a title...I can hear the groans and the answer...NOBODY loves Mondays!! 
 
But, being the ever optimist, I'll raise my hand...I love Mondays!!  Being a stay at home mom, Mondays were usually the day where the family went back to school/work after the weekend and it gave me a day to 'catch up' and get things back in order.
 
Our homeschool year begins today, so this Monday starts a new school year for us. Summer break is over, our school year is setting in.  Routines and schedules keep me motivated and challenge me to keep things orderly.
 
Monday's always represent a clean slate for me also.  A do-over or another chance to do things better.  Instead of bemoaning what has been lost - weekend fun, time off etc., a focus of getting a new week off to a great start can give renewed purpose.
 
I'm excited for Monday!  Hope that your week starts off fabulous!
 
"To many Mondays are not the worst days of the week, they are the best starts to the week. All you need to do is change your perspective and you are set for a good start."

    I refer to them as "Marvelous Mondays" instead of "Manic Mondays". I raise my hand with you. :D

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
