Summer

   Summer is a time that many of us do more “going” than we do at other times of the year.  School is out so the kids are free to go, the warmer weather makes for more pleasant outdoor adventures, and frankly we all just need some “away” time.

     Jesus did a lot of “going” in His work of ministry, but He also made time to get away to rest and relax. We aim to find that balance in our lives.  We must remember that regardless of where we are, we are on mission.  Jesus said that “as we go” we are to make disciples, and this command applies to us wherever we go.

     So in the sweet days of summer let us continue to give ourselves to others, investing in those without Christ for their salvation, and investing in those who already know Jesus to help them to maturity.  Let us make the summer count for the Kingdom.
