My practice shifted, and when I wake up now, I begin to rise, praising God for who He is and for giving me another day to live fully for Him. But after this mind shift, I began thinking through the gift of air in our lungs and living out this day for the Lord. When I wake up, I would typically grab my phone or hit snooze and think about all my to dos that were on my list for the day. My biggest takeaway was found in chapter one. When we begin to reframe our thoughts and treat each small act as service and worship, it becomes part of our very breath to look to our Savior as we go about our day. If you are like me, a lot of those minutes are mundane. Isn’t that incredible? This month alone we have 43,200 minutes that we can use to worship and serve our Holy God.
Our mundane moments, rooted in the communal practices of the church, shape us through habit and repetition, moment by passing moment, into people who spend their days and therefore their lives marked by the love of God.” “The often unseen and unsung ways we spend our time are what form us. What I love about the book is how the author shows you where God is alive and active in those moments and how we can connect with Him through these simple acts. These are all routines that we easily go through without putting any thought into the task. For example: waking, making the bed, and brushing our teeth. She sets up the book looking at the various routines we each have in our lives. Are you looking for a summer read that will be easy to follow and change your life? I believe that “Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life” by Tish Harrison Warren is a must read for you!
