I think it's safe to say that most people despise Mondays. Goes without saying. The weekend is over, and for most, it's "back to the grindstone". Our bodies are sluggish, our mind set is dragging and it can feel like there is not enough caffeine in the world to get the week going. Trust me, we've all been there. However look at it this way, God has seen fit to give you another day. Another week. Another chance to provide for your family, a chance to make a difference in the world. You read that correctly. You can change the world. Even the smallest act of kindness can change the course of events in someones life in a positive way. The 5 minutes it takes to help someone push their disabled car to the side of the road. Stopping to help a Senior citizen who dropped her groceries in the parking lot. Giving that extra dollar to the single mom in front of you in line at the store who is just a little short of her total. Small acts for some, but to that person, it is life changing. My sons former elementary school teacher told him once that there is no such thing as "luck". I have to disagree. I believe that "L.U.C.K." is a real thing. Love Under Christ's Kindness. Be someones "LUCK". Use this new week that God has given you. Be joyful and grateful for the opportunity. Give thanks to the Lord above for the chance to make a difference. Give praise. Dance and Rejoice in him. Yes, it's "MONDAY"; so what? Strap on your grown up pants and head in full throttle. The right motivation can help you do this, and I have always found music to be a crucial motivator. The Bible says, "Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp." - Psalm 149:3 So here is a song by Toby Mac that always gets me motivated to be someones "L.U.C.K." Be Blessed.
