Whether you work outside of or from home, love will greet you every step of the way if you are willing to slow down to give God your work day. Make it a point to take breaks and lean into God throughout the day. Put your Bible or rosary on your desk. Reach for it from time to time throughout the day, especially before meetings and phone calls. Pray a verse or a decade of the rosary. Better to arrive late to a meeting filled with joy than to arrive rushed, frazzled, and frustrated.
If possible go outside for a walk or stand and look out the window and breathe in. In our home, we have a rainbow maker in the kitchen window. It is solar powered, so when the sun shines the prism on it rotates and rainbows can sometimes fill the kitchen. It’s so joyful and refreshing to stand in the light of a rainbow, in the warmth of God’s love. Count every blessing. Thank God for the work that He has done and is doing in your life. Thank Him for the people and opportunities that He has given you. And, at the end of the day, even if your list is not done, thank Him that His is! Know that you have done all that He has asked of you. Then rest with an untroubled and innocent heart. May His heart always be reflected in ours.
Turning your day over to God only leads to greater blessings in joy, peace, and love in your life. Our lives may not always look like we want them to look, but when we lean into God life can be so refreshing, exhilarating, beautiful and peaceful all at the same time. Breathe in and welcome Him into your space. Then lean in, listen, and love will greet you in your day.
Heavenly Father, thank you so much for greeting us today. Thank you for reflecting Your heart in ours. Thank you for leaning into and loving us. Thank you for helping us to walk together with more peace, trust, strength, and discipline. Thank you for all the gifts that you have given to us. We are forever yours. Amen.
Thank you so much for joining us in prayer. Ya’ll have a beautiful day!
All My Love,
Jen
