I love the beginning of a new day.  Really.

The one difficult step to get me going is pulling.back.the.covers.

If I don’t do that right away I will stay in the same place too long!

I see this photo as a picture of God pulling back the covers on the morning.

The theme of this week in my Lent devotional of Frugality: Less Spending/More Peace is like pulling back the covers.

What drives me to spend more than I know I should? What is guiding my actions in those times? What is consuming my thoughts?

When I actually commit to pulling back the covers I get right up and get going.

When I truly see what is behind my spending habits I am able to make conscious decisions with money.

It is a tool.  Not an idol.

What happens when you pull back the covers on these thoughts?
