Blessings for the Morning by Susie Larson

 

BOOK DESCRIPTION: 

Let God Refresh Your Spirit Today

Start each day with a reminder of God's love and purpose for you. Instead of letting worries set in, enjoy the peace and encouragement that comes when you focus on God's timeless truths.

Each blessing and related Scripture take only moments to read, but are packed with biblical promise and perspective.

"May the Lord show you His favor and give you His peace."

MY THOUGHTS:

I was super excited to receive Blessings for the Morning: Prayerful Encouragement to Begin the Day by Susie Larson. In my own life, if I start the morning out on a positive note, then the rest of my day seems to go that much smoother. I have always heard of people doing devotionals in the morning, however I didn't know if I could commit a huge amount of time to this; and I am not a huge morning person so the shorter the commitment, the more likely I would keep with it. 

Enter Blessings for the Morning. This is a beautifully illustrated devotional that is meant to be an encouragement to women. It does not say it is specifically for a woman, however the cover is very feminine in appearance and thus leads me to believe it was meant for a woman's perspective. On each page, there is a Biblical passage on the left hand side and a devotional or small prayer to think on on the right hand side. I love how there are no dates assigned to each day, rather there is an index at the beginning that shows the different topics that the devotionals cover including Peace to Your Storm, God is in Control, Live in Response to Him, Christmas, End of the Year, etc. 

This is a beautiful book that is uplifting and positive. Just what a person needs to begin each morning on a positive note!
