Well, we're finally finished with February...a month where both Presidents and groundhogs were commemorated...and it's ironic that the shortest Month on our calendar gave us record snowfall for any
month since weather has been reported...!!!
March, which carries with it a caution...'Beware, The Ides of March'...still brings with it Dr. Suess' Birthday, The return of Daylight Savings time, St. Patty's Day, St. Joseph's Day, the first day of Spring, Palm Sunday, and Passover and the guarantee of the beginning of Spring flowers...not to mention being the month in which The Lion AND The Lamb are both commemorated...
So, those of us 'up North' will be on the lookout for that traditional yellow bush, the forsythia, to make its annual debut and spread some color across our sepia toned landscape...
For me, St. Patty's Day, March 17, signifies the exact Day in 1906 when my Grandfather set foot on American soil at Ellis Island in New York...!!!
St. Joseph's Day, March 19, I recall, was the day, as a child, we got our first parakeet, JoJo, and presents an opportunity to ask St. Joseph to intercede for those seeking work in our Country and around the World...St. Joseph, for Catholics and others, is the patron saint of laborers...!!!
Of course, The First Day of Spring, is what it is...JOYFULLY...!!!
Palm Sunday and Passover are both reminders that the Greatest Christian Mystery is about to unfold and be commemorated and celebrated as Holy Week begins...
Lots to look forward to with great anticipation and expectation...!!!
So while we are bombarded by the fear mongering that comes out of Washington, we must remember the words that The One who redeemed the world gave us as a remedy filled with real hope...Jesus repeatedly reminded us, "Do Not Be Afraid...I have overcome the world..."
Have a great March...!!!
