Dear Church Family,
I think May is my favourite month of the year. April showers give way to the promised May
flowers. Everything is so green, our
lilac bush is ready to burst open and the neighbour’s magnolia tree is starting
to show off it’s glorious blossoms. In
May the days are longer, it’s getting warmer, and summer is stretching out before
us. May is also the month we celebrate
Jesus’ ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit. I love May!
I pray that this year, May will be a beautiful gift for all
of us. We’ve heard some hopeful news
about lifting restrictions and opening things up. Hang in there, be hopeful.
Jesus loves each of us and he gets it. He has experienced
every emotion that we do. Just go talk
to him, and he’ll remind you of that. Hebrews
4:15 says that “we do not have a high priest (a Saviour, Lord) who is unable to
empathize with our weakness.”
Yes, Jesus gets it; he understands what we are going
through. And God is faithful. Those are two bright spots as we begin a new
month. I leave you with that beautiful verse from Genesis 8: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and
harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
Pastor Rita
