I am writing this on a sunny day in June! Yes sunny, not yet warm but showing promise of things to come. I hope that as you read this summer has truly arrived and that we are all enjoying the glories of a beautiful English summer; well I can hope! Of course English summers like holidays are unpredictable. I seem to remember my school holidays as being filled with long endlessly sunny days and no rain or clouds, of course they couldn’t have really been constantly like that but memory often plays tricks, painting memories with a rosy hue. More recent holiday memories tell a truer tale but are no less precious or enjoyable. It’s good to have a change or a rest or just to have a little more time to spend with those we love. Church attendances are often down during the summer holidays, understandably so; but although we may be busy enjoying our summer activities it’s really important that in our business we don’t forget our God. All that we have, are and experience is a gift from God and in order to start a new season, refreshed in body, mind and spirit we need to keep touching base with our Heavenly Father; including thanking him for time well spent and for the wonders of his world. Not all holidays are relaxing or stress free and contact with God can sooth our minds as much as the sun can sooth our bodies. I found the following on the Internet, which I thought very apt it’s called, take time. Take time to claim your strength; this is a gift from God Take time to have fun; it is God’s way of teaching you your strengths. Take time to grow yourself; only you can grow you. Take time to trust yourself; God trusts you. Take time to be self-reliant; it is better than being dependent. Take time to share with others; they will bless you and you will bless them. Take time to have hope; you are a child of God. I have also found a couple of short prayers from various sources suitable for holiday prayer that I hope you find useful. 8 Lord God, We put ourselves into your hands, and pray that You will bless us and our families during the wonderful months of summer. May we all help make our home a place of relaxation, joy, love, peace and safety. May we be generous and considerate; not thinking only about ourselves, but helping others enjoy the blessings of summertime. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen A Summer Blessing May you walk with God this summer in whatever you do and wherever you go. May you talk to God this summer and every day and in every situation. May you talk with God every day. Prayer for the summer break Lord, what about you and me? I don’t want to forget you just because I’m away from my normal routine. Keep close to me, Lord, and remind me that my relationship with you should never take a break. Wherever you go or whatever you do, either holidaying at home or venturing further afield I do wish you a very happy, safe and refreshing summer. Best wishes Glen.
