We’ve all seen the poster showing the cat hanging on for dear life with the caption,“Hang in there. Friday’s coming.”
If Monday could talk,
I have a feeling it would have a lot to say about this poster and this mentality of life.
After all, Mondays have to happen in order for Fridays arrive.
Mondays matter.
They often set the mood for the rest of the week.
They are like the starting line in a race where first few steps determine the pace for all steps to follow.
So, this morning, I’m listening to Monday say,
“Don’t just hang in there this week. Live fully. Embrace me. Make me matter for what I am not just for where I’m leading you.”
My eyes are a little tired this morning.
I stayed up too late last night.
But it’s not Monday’s fault, so I’m taking all the blame.
I’m going to do more than push through the day.
I’m going to smile through, laugh through, love through, and live through every minute of this Monday, because hanging on for Friday limits me to being a going-through-the-motions kind-of person.
I want to be a fully-engaged, productive employee today.
I want to be an in-tune mom and a caring wife today.
I want to be a good friend with an open ear today.
So, Monday, thank you for whispering in my ear this morning.
I heard you
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!

Love it!!!
