Spring Forward

Spring is right around the corner and what a great reminder of

what's to come in this new season of your life.

During the Spring months we can expect to feel March winds, to see rainbows after the April rain showers and marvel in the beauty of blooming May flowers. The heavy coats will get stowed away, hot beverages will be replaced with cool ones and the search will be on for the number to call the lawn guy. The transitions that take place as we move from the Winter season to the Spring season should remind us of the changes that need to occur in our personal lives.

Here are a few tips to help you to SPRING FORWARD in your life:

• Let the onset of Spring remind you of those New Year resolutions that you've put on the back burner. Dust those resolutions off and put them back into motion.
• Strive for growth in the areas of your life that need it most-finances, health, goals, etc.
• Renew your relationships and friendships that have gotten stale due to busyness, neglect, etc.
• Celebrate life by rejoicing with every sunrise and sunset.
• On those rainy days, be reminded that God wants to drench you with His love and He wants to bless you in time.
