Welcome to May long weekend!
It looks like the temperatures will warm up for a beautiful weekend here in Manitoba! What are your plans?
Putting in your garden? An excursion to the zoo? A round of golf?
With the slow reopening of 'normal' life, there are a few things we can start to do now. The most exciting, for me, this week was the library :) We can put books on hold online, and go pick them up once the are ready. (Next most exciting is getting a haircut next week!)
Have a great weekend!

This podcast by Lifeway Women, features Jen Wilkin's study on the Sermon on the Mount. It is the first of the 9 week study, made available for free. I really enjoyed it, so check it out!

Working in emergency services, there always exists the vicarious trauma we experience alongside that of others. A reminder for us to recognize what we are going through, remembering the One who rescued us.
