It’s almost June, school’s out and it’s time for summer vacation. Woohoo!
Remember the feeling? The freedom? The expectation?
Perhaps a trip to grandmother’s house, a week at the lake, or hanging out with friends at the pool?
Close your eyes. As you walk the beach feel sand squish through your toes. Imagine the exhilaration as you plunge into ocean surf. Ah, to be young again.
Hiking. Fishing. Camping. Boating. Sports.
A plethora of choices for young and old.
Amidst summer’s pleasure comes responsibility, opportunities to demonstrate Christian values. For teens and young adults, it’s a time of growth, testing, and planting feet on solid ground.
Do your children / grandchildren have the inner strength to withstand the fiery darts of the devil? Sex. Alcohol. Drugs. Today, the moral decay of our nation is front and center.
Protect those you love with prayer. Remind them Jesus is a present help in time of trouble. He will never leave nor forsake them. Pray, too, parents have His wisdom in these matters.
For those who wish to give a wholesome Christian-based gift to a teen/young adult, consider HEART OF SUMMER, a five chapter novella, prequel to my Last Useless Journey novels.
College student Hope Proper spends her last summer life-guarding on Epoh’s beach. Her fiancé, Jeff Werner, pushes limits and Hope’s forced to make decisions that affect the rest of her life.
