May

I love the month of May. Spring is really here (for the most part). The beautiful flowering bush is full of buds in the front yard (I'll have to take a picture to show you). Nature has put on her prettiest "dress" and the earth looks alive.

And I can't think of a better month of the year to have dedicated to our Blessed Mother then in May.

And THIS May begins with a "bang"! Today is not only the first day of "Mary's Month" but it's also the Feast of the Ascension AND the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. (And I know he is MORE then pleased to step aside to celebrate his Foster Son's Feast Day I still feel like he needs to be honored!)

I love the first of each month. New beginnings. Whatever last month held is over and the month ahead of us is all sparkly clean. Kind of like the start of a new year. The calandar is empty to be filled with all sorts of wonderful things.

For this month of May I've decided to really enter into it as Our Blessed Mother's Month. I haven't got any set plans but I do know I want to work on putting up a Mary Wall at home (of which I've wanted to do since reading a post about it months ago at Let the Little One's Come). I wanted to come up with some sort of "theme" of our Lady's to post here every day. But that didn't take fruition.

Instead I'm letting things go and will let our Lady lead me in how I should honor Her in a special way. Besides, I think that May is going to hold some circumstances where I will need to simply go to our Lady and sit at Her feet and find comfort and direction. And that's fine too. This is HER month. I trust in Her and love Her and know that whereever She leads me will be exactly wher God needs and wants me to be led to.
