Summer Quiet Time Prepares You for Summer
Fun
From Founder Fern Nichols
Do you want a great, fun-filled summer with your kids?
I've got the answer. It's time-tested and it works!
|
Decide |
to spend time with your almighty, living, heavenly
Father each morning. A little time with Jesus is better
than no time at all. "Lord, as I bask in the presence of
the 'Rose
of Sharon,' may Your sweet fragrance be
sensed by my children throughout the day." (Luke 10:39) |
|
Read |
Scripture--the Psalms are a good place to start
or a verse printed in the Mom's Prayer Journal.
God's Word is sufficient to transform your
day--even those irritable, cranky, yelling,
non-servant-mom days. "Father may Your Word
dwell in me richly." (Colossians 3:16) |
|
Pray |
back to your Heavenly Father the
Scripture you just read; intercede for each
child. Surrender your day to Him--
every aspect of
it. "May Your will be done." (Matthew 6:9-13) |
|
Thank
|
Him that He is your strength, your deliverer, your
helper, your guide, your friend and your sufficiency for
every need. "Thank You that You hear my prayers and know
all my needs even before I ask." (Matthew 6:8) |
|
Know
|
that you are not alone as a mom. Our mighty God is the
warrior at your right hand. Send up those "help me"
requests throughout the day--and don't forget the
"thank you's." Remember, you are raising an army useful for the
Lord. Include your personal Savior in this great
calling. "Faithful Lord, may I never forget the
incredible ministry You have given me--to be the mother
of my children." (1Thessalonians 2:7,8) |
|
Choose
|
today to enjoy your sons and daughters. You can
never rewind a day and do it over. "I pray, Father,
lighten me up! May I delight in my children as You
delight in me. The joy of the Lord is my strength."
(Nehemiah 8:10)

Summer is here and it's picnic time. Here is a great
salad recipe from the MITI cookbook.
It's one of those quick to make and easy to carry foods
that's sure to become a favorite.
It's cool and crisp
with a bit of sweetness to it. And
since there is no
mayo in the
dressing, you don't have to worry when you
take it on a
picnic. |
