Some of the best moments in life are the spontaneous ones. On Father’s Day, we give thanks for fathers and their sometimes spontaneous antics that can remind us all that we need to be free to sometimes take on unplanned opportunities in life – for these unplanned opportunities can be life-changing.

Summer is supposed to be a time of relaxation. But sometimes, with all the special occasions of summer, it can turn into a time of fatigue. It is important to carve out time for rest so you can recharge during these summer months, but, most of all, we must always rely on the Lord for our strength.

When kids are in close proximity to each other all summer long, fights are bound to erupt. Sibling rivalry is as old as sin itself. Remember Cain and Abel? Joseph gives us a way out of sibling rivalry when he forgives his brothers for their wrongs against him. Parents, what are you teaching your kids about forgiveness?

Sometimes families plan all their fun around one big summer vacation. But something doesn’t have to involve a big event to be fun. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon reminds us that we can find joy and fun in the everyday things of life. What everyday joys can you find with your family this summer?

Summer can be a time of farewells. Kids leave their friends at school. Some even are transitioning to a new school. My mother used to tell me, “Always leave a place better than how you found it.” As you say goodbye to friends for the summer – or maybe for longer – are you leaving those relationships better than you found them? Paul, when he says goodbye to the church at Ephesus recounts his strong relationship with the people there, but trusts in God to lead him into the future.
