What will May Bring?
The saying is “April Showers Bring May Flowers!” But what will May bring this year? There are the celebrations of May. In Louisville, Kentucky everything the first week centers around Horse Racing and the income opportunities that it will bring. Then there is Mother’s Days which is wonderful for us who still have our mothers with us but it is bittersweet for others who don’t have their mother’s physical presence. Then there are graduations, Memorial Day, backyard barbecues and summer is in full swing. As a business owner, May is the middle of the second business quarter. What have I done this year, what did I get done in April and what do I still have to get done the rest of the quarter and year? I’m not quite at the middle of the year but we’ve done a lot in the year already. What is pressing? What is absolutely necessary? What can I celebrate with others that will inspire, motivate and put that spark in their life to move forward with their goals and dreams?
1. Be intentional. Make every moment count for you. Don’t compare yourself to others. What you may or may not do is left up to you and God.
2. Love and care for yourself without restraint. For me, this is hard because I have been called to serve others and often, put myself last. Working hard to take better care of and love me. I realize and maybe I’m not the only one but I have to take care of me so that the best ME can show up again.
3. Pray about everything. I used to read that scripture, “Pray without ceasing,” and think I’ve got work to do, I can’t just pray all day long. But the older I get, the more I pray so that I don’t waste time, energy or effort heading in the wrong direction and doing a good thing but not a GOD thing.
What will May bring? I pray that you live the abundant life that HE died for you to have and receive overflow into your life that will require help to bring in the harvest from heaven. Let’s go!
