*This episode is sponsored by Rebekah Scott Designs™. Find at shoprsd.com*  After receiving some much appreciated feedback from our listeners, I have noticed many of you wanted me to go even deeper into my morning routine and what it all entails; so I will do just that!  In previous episodes, I have explained the raw elements of my morning routine, but this episode I specifically explain the “why” behind each step of my mornings. I believe that because of my habitual routines, the efficiency of my family in the morning has increased immensely. I hope this provides the encouragement you need to making small changes in your routine—especially when you are bogged down by “pain points”.  Check out our show notes in the "Encourager Podcast" tab on our website.         Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Sometimes we all need an uplifting, motivating message.  I believe this episode will do exactly that for you!  First, I talk about the popular phrase "an attitude of gratitude" which I alter quite a bit based on my perception of gratitude. Second, I dive into how I continually teach myself gratitude and put it into practice in my daily routine.  Lastly, I explain how the foundation of gratitude will allow you to be joyful.  Life is more fun when we have joy and are surrounded by people who emit joy.  Tune in to the episode to get a taste of the gratitude and joy I have to share!

In this episode, I emphasize the importance of leaving a legacy for your family.  We all want to create lasting memories for our children but they don't always have to be elaborate, beachfront vacations!  Some of the Scott family legacy builders include: journaling, scheduled memories, baking, mommy and daddy dates, and family values that I believe you can emulate in your household.
