May is a time to refresh your spirit!

May is Time to Refresh the Spirit!                              [Bulletin date: May 4, 2025]

We have all heard the English proverb, “April showers bring May flowers”.  April is traditionally a rainy month and certainly this year was no exception. But with that rain comes new growth of colorful flowers, thick, green grass, and trees abundant with leaves that will provide welcome shade during hot summer days.

As the rain washes away the pollen, it washes away the gloom left over from the cold winter. Any sadness from the rainy days of April now turns into a sunny period of happiness and joy. 

So, take time to appreciate what the April showers have brought us – the simple beauty of May. Take a walk and absorb some sunshine (wearing sunscreen, of course!).  Sit under a shady tree in the cool, green grass while listening to the chirping of baby birds. Just breathe in the newness of nature and feel the renewal of life. 

Refresh your spirit and enjoy May. After all, July and August are on their way!
