Challenge

What is a toddler thinking when they first wake up on a Monday morning?

-'Man, I hate Mondays!'

-'A whole week ahead of me...this really bites'

-'Nooooo!!! Say it isn't so, Mondays are horrible!'

Which one do you think it is? I will tell you what I think, none of the above.

Look at the joy that baby boy is taking from simply eating a piece of cake.... do you really think he hates Mondays? I think toddlers love Mondays. I think they love every day. I think they wake up and think to themselves- 'Yippeee!!! Another day, I am so excited to see what happens today.'

I am challenging myself to think more like a toddler. I don't mean I am going to start thinking it is okay to poop in my pants, draw on walls and eat crayons. I am challenging myself to not look at each new day, or week, or month, or year with apprehension, fear, and negativity. I am trying to look at each day as an opportunity. Toddlers know that everyday is filled with so many opportunities to learn something new, see something new, meet people, eat something especially good, and just generally have fun. This morning is a new week and a new month. I am looking at the new week and new month with excitement. What does God have in store for me? I can hardly wait to find out!!
