By Alicia Searl

“And God is ready to bless you abundantly, in order that in all issues always, having all that you just want, you’ll abound in each good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9:8

If I have been to be sincere with you, I’m not a morning individual. In truth, I keep up method too late, which completely impacts my morning routine. I startle off the bed, normally dashing round getting kiddos prepared for varsity, packing lunches, after which leaping into the automobile solely to zoom off to this faculty or that faculty. Yep, I’m the mother with three kiddos and three campuses, making my mornings a bit hectic.

I do know I have to prep the night time earlier than and go to mattress earlier, however the evenings are the one time I get to be absolutely current with my hubby. To not point out an precise quiet second to take a seat and simply loosen up. So, it’s time value savoring. But, I assume it’s additionally value mentioning that having two teenagers has made evenings tougher as these “peaceable” and stress-free moments have gotten pushed again later and later. Which means that my bedtime will get pushed again…later and later. Therefore the rationale for the hectic mornings, and evenings.

But, in some way, after the hustle and bustle of my regular morning routine, and after I drop off that final kiddo at college, it’s as if God at all times has a method of quieting my coronary heart. Typically I’ll have reward and worship music on, or it will likely be so quiet in my automobile that it’s a welcome reprieve and virtually prompts me to get nonetheless and spot … that irrespective of how loopy this season of life is, there’s at all times room to depend the various blessings God has so graciously offered.

So, right here is my query to you…Do you may have house in your morning to depend your blessings? Oh good friend, it’s really easy to get caught up in our day by day lives and busy schedules that the morning flies by with out even a notion or head nod to our Almighty God. Sadly, I can relate. I’ll leap off the bed and say a fast “Morning, God!” however He hardly ever will get my full consideration and coronary heart.

That mentioned, I invite you to affix me in taking a pause in your morning, even whether it is after all of the kiddos are at school (or you must conceal in your closet), so you possibly can really honor God for all His goodness and faithfulness. As a result of the reality of the matter is that once we give because of God within the morning, it units the tone for our day and offers method for us to reward Him all through it.

Let’s pray:

Gracious Father, I thanks for one more day. You might be such a great and merciful God who meets me wherever I’m on this journey of life and brings forth a lot richness and goodness that I need to give You my full coronary heart of gratitude. I need to thank You for each side of my life. I need to thank You for all the pieces!
