May Day: The Work of Your Hands Is Being Rewarded
By Kathi Pelton In many nations the first of May is set aside as a day honoring workers (laborers)— the struggles and gains of those who labor. Although some of it’s origins are rooted in a pagan fertility goddess— the Lord has often spoke to me on May 1st about a blessing coming upon His…
