Today is the first day of May! Happy May Day! With this celebration of spring, you may or may not have access to a May Pole. If not, there’s still plenty of reason and opportunity to dance and praise God on this beautiful day. Today is a reminder of new life. New life on our planet, as well as new life in Christ.

I must admit, it’s not the best day for me. Mom has been in the hospital since Tuesday night. These are the times I find it most difficult to be away from my family. So, I’ve determined to do what I can do from 1,500 miles away. Pray for and encourage her from this distance.

So today, I am offering words of encouragement to my Mom through my blog. Perhaps you are in need of this same encouragement. If so, I pray that God’s Words will fill your heart with hope, healing and refreshment. I pray that God’s grace will provide the strength you need to make it through this day. Blessings to you!
