Have you ever noticed that just about anything can color your day.
When I was a young home school mother, of six,
in the thick of raising/teaching kids, I made a pact of sorts with myself.
When my feet hit the floor in the morning
I recited one of two scriptures out loud, not loud, usually just a whisper.
And of course, I put them in my own words.
So using Luke 9:62, I would whisper encouragement to myself,
“Once having put your hand to the plow- don’t look back.
I am not in the thick of raising kids anymore, those days are long gone.
Scriptures and worship songs shake me awake these days.
I don’t need a pact with myself now.
