Each day my gratitude list is different. Some days my gratitude
list includes my health, senses, my job, my car that provides me with daily
transportation, my family, wonderful friends, colleagues, and the list goes on
and on from there. We all have so much to be grateful for so it’s not very
difficult to compose a gratitude list even a mental one. It’s a wonderful way
to start your day and you will see your day flourish from there.
Once I’m in my car driving, I start to pray. Some days my prayers
are focused on my morning travel and sometimes my prayers may last the entire
drive. It all depends on what my spirit calls me to do. What’s important is
that I’m still giving thanks and showing my gratitude through prayer. When I
arrive at work, I immediately log into my computer to get my day started. I
then pull out my book of Our Daily Bread and read the scripture of the day.
These all consists of my very own ‘spiritual breakfast’. A great
way to start my day! I am aware that with having my spiritual breakfast it will
provide me with the nourishment I need to have a productive and blessed day.
Some people drink coffee because the caffeine helps them wake up and give them
the energy they need to get their day started. Well, the same goes with my
‘spiritual breakfast’. It gives me the boost I need to get me going daily.
Without it my day can go in various directions - but I choose the direction of
a positive path.
I encourage all of you to do the same. When you wake up in the
morning, say to
yourself, “It’s time for breakfast!” And take it from there.

Make everyday count – have a blessed and productive day!
