Do you need some giddy up in your morning routine?
Mornings have become my favorite time of day. I get up when its still a little dark and cool, fix my tea or coffee, and soak up the silence before everyone else is up. As the days get brighter and warmer earlier, I’ll be out watching the wildlife.
I was thinking this morning about my younger years when I’d sleep til noon and despised ever having to get up in the early morning hours. It’s funny how we change as we grow older.
Whether you are or aren’t a morning person, these positive good morning messages are sure to give you the jump start you need for the day.

Feel free to share them with your friend and family. You could write them on a note card for you kids or spouse’s lunch. You can copy and past them on your social media. Or, just save them on your phone so you can read them each morning to some one who needs a pick me up.
One that I love to share with my kids each day: “This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24 NKJV)
It’s a good reminder that each day is a gift from God and we can choose to rejoice and be glad. Our attitude determines a lot about how we view the world and live out our lives.
So sharing uplifting morning messages and quotes with others is a great way to start our day and their day.
