Ahhh, Monday

Do you hate Mondays, or at least the ones that you don't have off of work or school? It's a common ailment and one which I share with you at times. While Monday is special because its the first day of the work week, when you stop and think about it Monday is just one more day in the course of your week. I say, don't let it bring you down!

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to be writing over the course of several days about the fruit we produce when we have heavenly wisdom and a Spirit of Righteousness...fruit that comes when we are closely connected to the Holy Spirit. I hope you'll see that you can produce this fruit even on Mondays!

So for today, let me leave you with this. Each day of your life you have a choice. You get to decide how your day is going to go. There will no doubt be unexpected and, at times, unwelcome events on some of them. There will also be many, many happy times too. How your day goes depends on the way you handle both the good and bad. Will you be grateful and give thanks to God for the good? Will you see God even in the bad and handle it gracefully? Will you be filled with optimism and open to opportunity or will you shut down mentally and simply cruise through your day, complaining as you go?
