Praise God For Hokey Homes...

There's no doubt about…I am far from a morning person AND YET; here’s the weird thing; morning is my most favorite time of day!

You see, the simple act of dragging myself out of bed is torturous to me. I hem and haw (and yes, I am one of those people who presses the snooze button for an hour or more). I always have good intentions; but I rarely follow through. In the end, I drag myself out of bed at the drop dead last minute (AKA: just enough time to get Ayden ready for school).

However, once I’m awake; I couldn’t think of a more perfect time of the day! The sun is rising, the coffee is brewing (one of God’s greatest miracles, I believe), and everyone is refreshed and anticipating what this new day will hold.

This morning I sat at the kitchen table and thought about how truly blessed I am. Each and every morning, my incredible husband makes us all breakfast (eggs, hashbrowns, and today we even had bacon)! He pours me a coffee (mixed to perfection with french vanilla creamer) and then my most favorite tradition of all begins…we sing.

Okay, I know that sounds incredibly hokey…it is hokey really. But this hokey little tradition has become one of my favorite parts of the day. It started years ago when I bought a package of eggs… I know that sounds absurd, but it’s true.

You see, I bought some eggs at my local store and when I opened them up I noticed that they had a bible verse on the inside. Truly something you would only see in the South!! The minute I saw the verse I was reminded of a song that many of us learned at summer camp as kids. I began singing the song to myself and the rest is history.

This morning, as I was thinking about how blessed I am, I thought I would grab my camera and give you all a glimpse into a morning at our hokey little home. PRAISE GOD for hokey homes!

As a side note: Please don’t judge me on my singing ability…you’ll remember from the post a few days ago that I’ve already admitted I can’t sing!!
