a [monday] challenge

It's Monday. And I have a challenge for you!
 
Everyone loves a good case of the Mondays. It's like we all give each other permission to moan and groan and complain because...it's Monday. But shouldn't we stop that? 
 
Don't get me wrong, I have been a Monday whiner countless times myself. But God has really been stirring in my heart about this teensy little topic. And I started to think...I'm sure Jesus didn't complain about Mondays.

In Jesus we have...
Love.
Light.
Life.
Peace.
Contentment.
Hope.
Redemption.
Grace.
Forgiveness.
And, ultimately, the atonement for our sins.

Shouldn't we strive to spread a little bit more joy on all days?
ESPECIALLY in the spirit of the season and on days like Monday?!

Join me...let's spread joy today.
No grumbling or complaining.

Oh! ...And go ahead and sing this in your head while you are shining His light!! Merry, merry, beauties! Let me know how it goes. :)

  4. Love this! I was actually thinking earlier that I was feeling so at peace and happy this holiday season, that even though today's Monday - it's not so bad. There's always a positive, even in something negative, you just have to look for it!

  5. Thank You! I think I'm going to put that quote on my desk. "I'm sure Jesus didn't complain about Mondays!" How can I be a witness if I have the same attitude as everyone else?!

  11. I read this post a little too late after I already posted that I was being a lazy blogger pretty much because it was Monday. You are so right though. Monday is just another day in the week and we should be happy no matter what! Thank you for that insight!

  17. Great post!! And it's so true - we have so much to be happy/thankful for so why moan! If we're going to work, at least we have a job that is thankfully there during this time…and countless other blessings!! Thanks for this!

  18. such a great post. Especially after the day I had, but I caught myself constantly reminding me there is a reason for it, and I will get through it! It's a bad day, not a bad life :)
