Monday Coffee Break #24

Monday Coffee Break; a weekly roundup with Biblical encouragement, hospitality inspiration and delicious recipes.


Do you have your coffee cup? I do!

I don’t like waking up on a Monday morning exhausted. But sometimes that happens. And when it does, it can be a real recipe for disaster. Things pile up. I get overwhelmed.

I can try to muscle through and wait until things get really bad before I look for some help. Or I can stop at the first sign of fatigue and spend some time with the Lord.

One, my friends, is way more productive than the other.

And that’s just what this week’s Coffee Break is all about. God doesn’t want us or really need us to be at the end of our ropes to be BIG in our lives. He wants to be big all the time.

So, this week I’ve got 10 simple tips for not getting to the end of your rope, plus a crock pot recipe in case you’re a little pressed for time and a fun little project for creating market-place mats instead of using paper plates for your next get-together.

Let’s start our week together! Just click the photos or links to read more!
