So much going on in the merry month of March. It’s a good thing it contains so many days. In March, our family celebrates many birthdays. The month also brings St. Patrick’s Day, where everyone becomes Irish for a day. The onset of spring is in the air, and we’ll go back to daylight savings time next weekend. This March is coming to us like a lamb. Temperatures are above normal and 60’s are forecast for today. This is unheard of in Minnesota. We’ll see lots of folks in flip flops and shorts this week. Spring break occurs at our schools and universities and mayhem could ensue. Primary elections are popping up all over the place and the actual election is almost 8 months away. Of course, we’ve been exposed to candidates for quite a while already. No comment on the outcome. Only God knows how it will turn out. His will be done.

This is also the month of Easter – a little earlier than usual, but what a wonderful celebration. We’re currently in the season of Lent, which is a time of repentance, contemplation, meditation, thoughts about our sinful condition, and forgiveness. Easter brings joy in the knowledge that death is not the end of our existence. Jesus’ overcame death and so will we.

As we begin this month, take time to think about that very thing. Life does not end for those who trust in the Lord. He conquered death and sacrificed everything because of His great love for us. Now we can pay it forward and share that wonderful news with those who need Jesus in their lives.

Have a great March!
