Every morning, I set my alarm to be up before everyone. I love to read, and the quiet house in the morning seems like the ideal time for this stage of life. Everyday, it’s my Bible and first cup of coffee followed by book of choice and second cup of coffee. And now, I always look for that one thing. Sometimes it’s in the Bible, sometimes it’s in my quiet thought. It’s usually a goal of some sort for the day or an aspiration, but there’s always a ‘one thing’.
A few examples lately, praying for unity in our family, being enthusiastic when I greet Mike (loooooong days people), being creative instead of being a consumer, my facial expressions and reactions to my kids—just a few. But I find it so helpful to set an intention for the day. After all, how do you accomplish if you never set a goal.
