There is so much about how we begin our day that determines its course and tone. Think of your day like a garden.
You prepare the soil. You may add nutrients to enrich it. You carefully sow your seeds or plant seedlings, gently bedding them down and watering them. As your plants grow, you’ll fertilize and remove the weeds that tend to pop-up in your garden. When your plants have matured, you can enjoy the fruits or vegetables or flowers your labors. (Galatians 6:7)
Life and your day is just like this garden if you think about it. Reflect on it a moment when you wake up. I hope it produces a bounty of grace and joy.
