THE MOST DREADED DAY IS COMING

 

Welcome to Monday Maintenance! So far, we have survived January and February of 2023, however March is a different story. I hope all of you were safe from the big windstorm! I chased outdoor furniture all over the place! One chair was about 100 yards away! Clarksville had the State record of 79 mph winds! Go Us!! LOL

 

March brings about a distinct change in weather patterns and sends us hope of a coming Spring, although Spring started in February this year…can I get an AMEN? LOL 

 

March also brings about the MOST DREADED DAY OF THE YEAR - TIME CHANGE, or as many would call it - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME! It is where we “Spring Forward” one hour to give us “extended daylight!” (I don’t know about you but I wish “they” would set us on one time and leave it alone…can I get another AMEN?) 

 

Just as New Year’s Eve brings a spirit of hope, Daylight Savings Time brings a spirit of dread! We moan and groan and drag around for about a week and then we adjust - whether we want to, or not! 

 

So, how can we face “that day” without dread? By giving thanks! 

I know that sounds crazy, but if we could change our spirit of dread to a spirit of gratefulness, we can approach this day with hope! Remember what my favorite Book says, “This is the day which the LORD has made; (I will) rejoice and be glad in it!” 

 

It’s an attitude, followed by an action, that makes the difference!

 

Will you be different? 

 

Have a great “time change” week!
