Wow! Summer is
here! Do you have plans to spend time
with family and friends? How about
one-on-one time with your kids? Do you
and your family have fun and creative ideas of how to spend time day-to-day for
the next few months?
If you have yet to think about what fun moments and
activities your family might share together, consider asking everybody for a
few ideas. Also, talk about how much
screen time your kids will be given this summer. Young people spend an average of seven hours
and thirty-eight minutes every day between computers, cell phones and
television--that totals 53 hours a week!
A good number of those hours could be used in creative pursuits, serving
opportunities, and sharing quality time.
Read, play a game, or design a craft instead of watching
TV. Turn off cell phones during
meals. Leave the computer off for an
evening or two each week and take a walk or visit a neighbor. When you are in the car, leave the stereo off
and talk, sing, or play silly car games.
This summer, tune out the TV and tune into God and one
another. Remind your kids that God can
always be accessed anytime and anywhere.
Pray and ask God to help you all use your time wisely and celebrate
summer!
