Which means in a little over three months we’ll all be moaning, “Where did the summer go? I can’t believe it’s over.” So what can we do over the next hundred days or so to help alleviate that feeling of loss? Or to put it positively, what can we do to make the most of June, July, and August?
Here are twenty suggestions.
1. Forget about all the days you’ve missed on your Bible reading plan. Pick up with the schedule this summer and stick with it.
2. Choose 12-15 verses to memorize. Work on one a week.
3. Drive with the windows down, and keep the windows open at night.
4. Take a road trip and sing loudly in the car.
5. Take your kids to a baseball game.
6. Catch fireflies.
7. Play kickball in the backyard.
8. Take a prayer day.
9. Make plans now to volunteer during Vacation Bible School, June 25-30
10. Eat at McDonald’s.
11. Keep track of how many hot dogs you eat, and don’t feel bad about any of them.
12. Run/walk/watch a 5k.
13. Watch fireworks on the Fourth of July.
14. Check Facebook and Twitter and Instagram a lot less.
15. Go outside. Play at the beach. Take a walk. Give thanks to God for his creation.
16. Read a book just for fun.
17. Stop by the nursing home, the hospital, or the assisted living unit and visit someone who would love to be outside.
18. Go swimming. Don’t worry about how you look.
19. Invite a friend to church.
20. Buy something from the ice cream truck.
Enjoy the summer. It will be over before you know it.
