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

Monday morning is typically a day we all dread, right? It’s back to work and back to the grind.

Yet, I have noticed that whatever my circumstances, my attitude improves when Iam thankful for the good things around me. My perspective changes whenever I thank God for the many good gifts he has given me. Even on a Monday morning.

He has given me so much. I have a home to enjoy. I have friends. I have family. He has given me the air I breathe and a heart that beats. He gives me life. He gives me joy. He gives me a heart filled with gratitude and so much more.

Count your blessings. Consider all He has given you. Then, even on a Monday morning, rejoice and be glad in the new day God has given you.

Thank you, generous heavenly Father, for all your good gifts. Thank you for loving me and giving me grace. Thank you for creating this day and allowing my heart to praise You, even on Mondays.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
