Making the Most of Each Day & Simple Living

Saturday, September 3, 2022 (Updated: Sunday, August 30, 2026)

Post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure statement.

Every day when we wake up, it is a gift. It’s a new day, full of possibilities. Yes, it is also full of responsibilities. Some days it might feel like there is too much on your plate, especially if your home is filled with little people at the moment! But most days are regular days filled with possibilities. Even a busy home filled with little people provides the opportunity to make a family memory by reading good picture books together. That matters.

What are some of the other possibilities?




There are possibilities to serve the Lord when washing the dishes or folding laundry. Demonstrating our love for the people in our lives by making something they especially like for supper. Taking the time to add a bit of God’s beauty to our surroundings in some small ways. Praying daily for our husband, children, and grandchildren.

The day is full of possibilities to use your gifts, your time, and your love.

Don’t allow the enemy to steal any part of this day. He wants to discourage you. He wants to distract you. He wants to depress you.

He wants to make it feel like it’s not worth it to put forth the extra effort to show love.

Don’t believe the lies of the enemy. If you belong to Christ, your day is full of good possibilities. Make the most of them and enjoy them. They are a gift.
