Happy June

I love the month of June! Even though Summer doesn’t begin until the third week of the month, I already start to “feel” the transition to hot and bright days.

And I can’t wait. I believe we get months like June to make up for the grey, cold months of winter. We get the bright sunshine and the bright flowers to help us forget about the cold months.

It isn’t that I don’t like these months, but I’m a much happier person during the warm and bright months. Add this to the fact that this has been the most rain in any winter that I can ever remember.

We had long weeks when it rained every single day. And now, the long, rainy season is giving way to a bright, colorful, month of June with all its many blessings.

Just like the weather changes, there is also the feel of “new beginnings” in the air. It feels like we can get more done, like more is possible.

So, as the new month begins, wipe your slate clean and start anew. Let go of all the regrets you may have and start June with an open heart and mind.

It doesn’t matter what you didn’t get done last month or during the winter or early spring. Don’t worry about that.

Leave all the negativity, all the regrets, all the things that you “should have” or “could have” done in the past and treat June as a big, open, blank book for you.

You get to decide what you are going to write on each page of the month. And make sure you don’t let anyone else hold that pen! You write your own journey.

New month, clean slate, fresh start and new beginnings. May every day in June give you courage, strength, renewed hope, strong faith, inner peace and all the many blessings of Summer.

I pray that you and your family are blessed during this month. May God heal you physically, emotionally and spiritually.

May He restore your finances and bring abundance to you and your loved ones.

May He create new opportunities for you, open doors for you and close those that should be closed.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Sending you blessings of love and gratitude from Sterrett, Alabama!
