Rise and Shine: Encouragement to Start Your Day

When you rise from your bed, how many minutes does it take before you truly shine?

Oh, dear. That long.

Might I have just two of those precious minutes each morning? Two minutes to whisper a gentle word of encouragement, to brush a feather across your funny bone, to prove how beautiful and valuable you are to God?

Two minutes. No calories, no squat thrusts, I promise.

Rise, sister mine. And shine.
