Creation Grace: Seasons

By Elizabeth Prata

May’s Memorial Day is almost here. This holiday in America is the traditional gateway to official summer. Schools are let out or almost done, weather is warming up, foliage is flowering, leaves are bursting and baby animals are born. It’s a time of renewal as spring slides into summer and we’re all feeling fine.

Summer is also a time when people take vacations, families have more outdoor opportunities (pool, splash pad, petting zoo, beach, strawberry patch…). We tend to take things slowly, morph into different routines. One of those changed routines might be to allow church attendance to slide or to let Bible reading go.

Stay strong! The Lord is present in every season and we need to be with Him in every season. He made the flowers we enjoy and the sun we enjoy and the gentle rains we need…Enjoy the creation of summer but enjoy the Lord who created it too.

An Inspired Challenge for Wives This Father's Day - Today Can Be Different
Consider asking your husband how you can pray for him each day. (If the father of your children doesn’t live with you, for whatever reason, remember to put him on your prayer list too.) Your husband wants nothing more than to succeed, but he probably struggles with issues he’s afraid to admit, even to himself. He may feel insecure about being a dad, especially if he didn’t have the benefit of a good role model. Or maybe he feels more like an understudy because he’s “only” a stepdad.
