Today I am posting Day 22 of the challenge. I’m still a bit behind but hope to catch up soon. Today I am sharing my “Weekend” rules. Thank you for visiting!

It’s the weekend and joy is in order. I promise you that if you follows these rules, you will have a beautiful and joy-filled weekend. Ready? Here we go!

Wake up! Grab your coffee or tea and give yourself a good stretch. Then, breathe in deeply and remind yourself that today is a new day.

Enter His Presence! Get in the Word. Put on some worship music and give Him some praise. Sit quietly and allow Him to speak to your heart. In His Presence is fullness of joy!

Encourage someone. Look around. Is there someone in your family or sphere of influence who needs some encouragement? Go to them now and speak hope and life. Call them on the phone and let them know you care. Send encouraging words through texts or emails.

Kiss a loved one. That’s write, kiss someone you love today. Your husband, your child. Give that best friend of yours a kiss on the check. You will bring a smile to their face and one to yours as well.

Extend a hand. Be helpful today. Hold the door open for the woman behind you. Offer to babysit for a friend and her husband so they can have a date night. Find out if a friend needs help with organization or anything else.

Notice beauty. Ask God to show you the beauty of creation today. Go outside and notice something beautiful. Look where you’ve never looked before. It’s there, I promise you!

Dance freely. That’s right, bust a move. No one is watching and even if someone is, dance freely. You are free to be in Christ. So let it loose. Allow yourself to feel the burdens and cares coming off as you release them now in the dance of freedom.

Have a blessed weekend!

This post is part of a 31 Day series entitled Embrace, where I will be sharing images, quotes and words that I hope will stir your soul. You can find each post in this series here. Together, let’s embrace every day and the beauty that each one holds.
