June is the month that school is out, summer is here, and weddings are booked on weekends. The days are long and the nights are pleasant. The summer heat has not intensified yet- so lots of fun activities can take place. The temptation to squander away the summer days may be there- but the challenge this month is “carpe diem” – seize the day! What can you fill this month with to further your family preparation? Spend time in the garden, build some storage shelves, learn to sew a pillowcase, or have a BBQ! Above all – whatever activities you choose to fill this month with - do it as a family. Whether you are married, single, young or old – include “family” as part of your summer learning. Even if you are not near immediate family – you can be a part of a church family, or a neighborhood family. God made us families for a reason. We need each other! And June is the perfect time to gather as families, and fill our time with activities that will help us be prepared, and in turn bring us closer together!
