When Mornings are Rushed

There is nothing more amazing than a day that is begun saturated in the Word.

Mornings that involve the snooze button, burnt toast, screaming kids, missing shoes, and honking school bus horns sometimes pretty much never leave room for the aforementioned.

Unfortunately my family doesn't think I should sleep till 10 and then enjoy an hour in my chair cuddled up with a snuggly blanket, hot coffee, my Bible & journal for some rich study and prayer time.

They expect breakfast and clean underwear EVERY morning all before the big yellow bus shows up at 7:00 am.

Brats!

No matter how hard I try my body does not accept 5:00 am. {It doesn't do much better with 6:00 or even 6:30.}

Since days when I don't fit some "Mommy Bible Time"* result in the most revolting putrid fleshy stink permeating my home, I had to come up with a quick and easy way to get some Jesus in me every morning. No matter how crazy and frantic.

{*Doing the kids daily devotion during pre-school hour didn't do much to banish the stink of my flesh.}

Enter these beautiful little sticky tabs.

On mornings when I can cozy up in my chair with my Bible (like when Mr. is home and semi-caring for the children) I use these to mark the passages that strike me as a 'must-read-this-EVERY-morning-to-keep-my-attitude-fresh' sorta verse(s).

Like this one.

Then in the mad dash to get my morning started I can flip through the tabs, refreshing my attitude all while pouring seven bowls of cereal, rounding up 14 almost-never-matching socks, still half asleep. Score!
