SUMMER!
Summer’s here and so is fun!
School’s getting out
And you can bask in the sun,
Go fishing for trout,
Or work a ton!
Enough with the lame rhymes, but it remains that all of us are happy for summer. No matter how much you enjoy school, you need a break and the thought of getting out of school soon always brings a smile to my face.
In the summer, you have more free time. So why don’t you spend part of your day, every day, this summer helping someone out?
Here are some ideas:
1.Invite someone you don’t know well to go swimming with you
2.Help make dinner with your mom
3.Make some lemonade for your siblings
4.Write a note to your dad thanking him for all he does for you
5.Take care of your family’s pet
As Christians we aren’t just called to stop doing bad things, but to do better things than normally. Want proof? Take a look at Ephesians 4: 25 – 32 (I’m too lazy to type it out.)
We’re given some ways to improve
Go from:
Lying to building others up
Stealing to giving
Anger to tender hearted-ness
and to be kind and forgiving like Jesus.
Don’t spend this summer on the coach watching re-runs or even just sitting at the pool being bored. Go out and help someone!
