God Gave Us Summer
Rest and rejuvenation are important to God. We know this because
EACH DAY:
- God gave us day and night – and for those of us who don’t have to work third shift, we know the importance of good sleep during the night. For families with young children, we know that when our little ones have regular naps, and good sleep at night, they are happier and more secure.
- EACH WEEK: God gave us the Sabbath day and proclaimed that one day a week we should keep a time to be still. To remember and reflect on God’s goodness without working but keep one day each week for rest and reflection, family and festivity. Although many of us work more than one job, and there are many jobs that must work on Sundays, God wants to remind us it’s important to keep the Sabbath, and good discipline to prioritize time with him.
- EACH YEAR: God gave us Summer as a time to rest. During the school year students are learning and parents are working hard at their job. In Summer, people take time off. Sometimes people relax at home. Other times people travel. Summer is a time for relaxing, rejuvenating and spending time with our family and friends, maybe going on a vacation.
This summer, try to find time for enjoying God’s creation! Playing outside, lying on the grass, climbing trees, going to the beach or lake, fishing, catching fireflies. Summer is great for learning new skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. · Summer is a time to grow closer to God our Heavenly Parent. God wants us to take a pause from our busy day and to enjoy the moment. It is a good time for prayer, reflection and rejuvenating our spirit through learning about God at Summer Camps, Sunday School, spending time in nature and with our family and friends.
As you enjoy your summer, remember that here at Ascension we hope you are staying cool, finding small moments of rest, and creating happy memories with your family. We encourage you to celebrate God’s creation this summer. Even more, know that we pray for you everyday; that God’s blessings would abound for you and your family.
