Confession. It’s been a bit since I have come down to my “nook” for a quiet time. It’s actually been a bit since I have gotten up early enough to come down to have one. Recently, my time with the Lord has been more rushed and spread out throughout the day, and I haven’t intentionally given Him the very first part of my day. While this is the most important time of my day, it’s easy for it to slip down my list to do later in the day, when I’m way more distracted.
Today I started my annual tradition of reading through the book of Luke. I do this each December, and it is something that has legitimately changed my life. Reading about the life of Jesus as we prepare for Christmas helps keep my focus where it needs to be, and makes Christmas even more special. If you’ve never done it, this year is a good time to start! 24 chapters…one chapter each day. It’s easy but so meaningful. 🤍
I share alllll of that bc as I read and had my time this morning I was reminded of how loving and kind and gracious He is. There’s never condemnation when we fall short…just a kind and loving Father who is there to love us and pour into us. He’s so, so good, and I am so, so grateful.
It’s a new month and it feels like the perfect “reset” and I need it. Maybe you do too. So let’s do it. Take a deep breath, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s end this year strong, intentional, and focused! Happy December!!!
It’s also the first day of Advent and the first day for Advent calendars. Coffee for us and chocolate for the kids. We reallllly love this fun way to start each day! It’s going to be such a good month!!! 😍
