“Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.”

— Psalm 74:16-17 (ESV)

Sunscreen, splashing, snow cones and sunglasses. These are just some of the sights and sounds that remind us that summer is here! And for many of us, summer is a season that allows us to have more time to spend together traveling, exploring, eating, and playing. As we enter in the summer months, we want to invite you to set rhythms for your summer that help you and your family engage in worship of the Lord and rehearse the beauty of the Gospel. More time unplugged from devices, more time exploring God’s creation, more time meditating on his word, and more time sat around tables or in hammocks, enjoying conversation with family and friends.

These books and activities have been curated and recommended to you to do just that! So, we can create intentional time in our days this summer to think about, talk about and live out the gospel. So, we can capture and leverage the moments we experience together daily for the purpose of gospel-centered conversations. And so, we can make and mark milestones of God’s faithfulness to us throughout this summer and reflect on it in the days to come. May we take these beautiful days that the Lord gives us during this season and grow our family in deeper love and communion with our Creator.
