Saying “YES”!

Do you find yourself always saying “no”? 

Is it just a rhythm we get into? Is it a habit? Do we feel like the no is warranted? 

I sometimes need this encouragement…and hopefully this encourages you today too…

Maybe today you find a way to say “yes”?!
Is it really THAT big of a deal to say “no”?

And it’s not JUST to our kids. 
It can be to our spouse…our friends.

Make it stand out

Encouragement of the day…can we breathe and relax today? Can we say yes to the fort? Yes to the art project? Yes to the some decision your child wants to make? 

Make it stand out

Can we say yes to our spouse? Yes to the hug they give. Do we push them away when they hug us from behind because we are trying to “just finish these dishes?”

Years ago I made a decision when my husband came and hugged me… I would pause and soak in the hug instead of “needing” to finish my task first. Let me tell you…that is a marriage game changer. Try it! 

Sometimes in the busyness we can get a little uptight. Today I encourage all of us to step back and enjoy the moment.
