The key to presenting an optimistic, happy, faith-filled time is to start every morning setting your brain in the right direction. It’s easy to lie in bed considering: ‘I don’t feel just like going to function. I don’t need to deal with these kids. I didn’t exercise yesterday.’ We don’t realize it, but that’s placing the tone for the lousy day. Unless you intentionally arranged the shade for your day, negative thoughts will set it for you personally. AWAKEN TO HOPE will help you begin each morning thankful, thinking about God’s goodness, anticipating His favour, and laying the building blocks for any blessed, productive time.
