Hello fellow Veterans,
I had no idea the month of May 2020 had so many activities! May is the fifth month of the year in the Gregorian and it’s predecessor, the Julian calendar.
Did you know May is named after the Greek goddess, Maia? It’s the time of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
So what does that have to do with us, veterans? It’s time for the season to change! It’s been a long time to be shut in…don’t look like we’re ready to “get back to normal”. What a powerful lesson to learn.
What lesson learned? We didn’t do nothing…
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
