SUMMERTIME

    About a week ago I was approached about writing something for Coffee Break. Seeing this was our last one before the summer break, I thought about how important it is for us to keep God involved with everything we do.
    Summer time is a wonderful time. It should be a great time to get closer to God. A time to enjoy the nature and all that he has made and given to us. However it can be very busy. The kids are home and our routines seem full. For most of us schedules seem to go out the window. Swimming, sports, vacations, family time, work, sleeping in. All kinds of things to take up our time during the day. There just don’t seem to be enough time in a day during the summer. With this crazy hectic time when church programs close for summer break, people tend to take a break from God too. They tend to leave him there until September.
    Summer is a great way to rejuvenate the mind and soul as we spend time with family and friends. God is the best friend that anyone could ask for. He cares about everything we do. Summer time is not a time to forget and leave God behind. We would never leave our best friends behind, why is it so easy to leave God behind?

Hebrews 13: 5 says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

    God wants us to allow him access to everything we do this summer. He wants to go along for the ride. He would never leave or forsake us. So why not involve him with your summer break as often as possible. He is waiting for the invitation to join you on your summer break all you have to do is invite him to come along.
