Why do we say good morning?

One early Sunday morning, a little girl and her sister woke up and ran to the sitting room, where their parents were sipping tea and enjoying the quiet morning.

"Good morning, Mummy and Daddy!" they said together

"Good morning, girls!" their parents replied, smiling.

The older sister thought about something. "Daddy, why do we say good morning?" she asked, looking up at her father with wide eyes.

Her father paused, taken aback by the thoughtful question. "That's a very good question, little princess," he said, smiling. "Saying good morning is a way to wish someone a wonderful day, filled with goodness and joy. It's like we're praying for each other to have a good day!"

The little girl's face lit up.

Her father continued. "When we say 'good morning,' we're not just using a polite phrase; we're actually blessing each other and asking God to give us goodness through the day."

The little girls nodded thoughtfully as they heard this.

Her father took a deep breath. "You know, girls, every day is a gift from God. And when we wake up in the morning, we say 'good morning,' not just to wish each other well; but to also remind ourselves to trust in God's goodness and provision for the day ahead!”

The little girls smiled as they heard these words from their father.

From that day on, every "good morning" became a reminder to trust God's goodness and guidance for each other and the day ahead.

The End!
