Hello May

 

clipart-library.com

May might be here but we're still having April Showers!

 It's 10:30am, 66*, windy and raining, the house is dark and it looks like we're in for a dreary day.

2 Samuel 22:29
"For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness."

Certainly not what you want on the first day of May!  But I know the rain is needed and the yard and plants need this good drink of water.  It seems they love rainwater much better than water from the hose. 😊

Something a little cheerier, the lilies have opened and they are beautiful!

I wish the blooms would last longer.


Time for another cup of coffee and maybe a cookie!

Until Next Time

Excuse Me !

I'm a day late for

May Day!

May Day, often associated with the arrival of spring, is a joyous occasion celebrated by many cultures around the world. It is a time when nature awakens, flowers bloom, and the air is filled with a sense of renewal.  

For summer is a-come in,
And winter’s gone away.
All in the merry morning
That is the month of May.


 May is a perfect time to reflect on God’s past provisions and to seek His continued blessings and guidance. May, with its symbol of renewal and growth, invites us to deepen our faith and align our lives more closely with God’s will.

Heavenly Father,
as I enter the month of May, I come before You with a heart filled with gratitude and expectation.
Lord, I thank You for the beauty of creation that blooms around me, reminding me of Your mastery over all things. As the world around me showcases the renewal of spring, I ask for a similar renewal in my spirit and in my faith.
Bless this month, from its beginning to its end. May each day be a testament to Your sovereignty and grace. Guide my steps and decisions that I may live out Your will in my life.
Protect me from any harm or distraction that could draw me away from You. Cover me with Your peace and strength to face whatever challenges may come.
I ask for Your wisdom to prevail in my choices and for Your love to fill my interactions. Let my life be a light to those around me, drawing others into Your presence.
Pour out Your blessings upon my family, my work, my community, and my church. May I witness Your hand at work in every area of my life, bringing growth, healing, and joy.
In Jesus’ name, I commit this month of May to You, asking for Your unmistakable guidance and boundless blessings to be evident every day.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Until Next Time

Hello May


May is the month
Of sunshine and flowers
Birds in their nests,
And one or two showers.
Games to play and a kite to fly
Or just looking at the sky.
We could spend a year this way
if the year were made of May.

Years ago May Baskets were a tradition among family and friends. Small baskets of sweets and flowers would be left anonymously on their doorstep. 

 Sounds like a fun thing to do, maybe we should bring it back!

 Happy May Day!

Until Next Time
