It's a good day to praise God

 Many years ago May 1st was celebrated as “May Day.” It was generally celebrated with a festive spirit. It was a break from the routine, an excuse to celebrate.

May Day celebrated life

Schools, especially those in the South, celebrated May Day in a variety of ways t that included the suspension of classes and usual routines.

Many hosted assemblies and watched the crowning of the “May Queen.” The young lady selected was feted with gifts and praise and treated like royalty for a day.

May Day was a lot of fun, there were sweets served by the school cafeteria as the school and the rest of the world celebrated the advent of Spring.

Around the country, the day became a day of marches and protests about Worker’ rights, too.

The marches and protests started sounding too much like communism and no one wanted to do anything the communist did, so politics overshadowed the festivities and May Day soon disappeared in the USA.

Whether it's May Day or Any Day, we celebrate the joy of the Lord. It's a great day because God made it and he blesses us in it in ways we cannot see.

Psalm 145:2  reminds us that,  “Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever.

Every day every of the week, we celebrate God's gift of salvation through Christ and the gifts he has made available to us.

It's a great day because God is good and his mercy endureth for ever.
