“You set all the boundaries of the earth;
Psalm 74:17
You made summer and winter.”
“From the rising of the sun to its setting,
Psalm 113:3
let the name of Yahweh be praised.”
“Happy are the people with such blessings.
Psalm 144:15
Happy are the people whose God is Yahweh.”
The Lord delights in our joy and wants us to find pleasure in our lives, families, and His creation. For many of us, things are starting to open up more. We are heading into a time in the pandemic where we can again get out and travel a little, and spend time with people outside our homes.
What makes summer fun for you and those you love? Look through these ideas. Circle those that would be good additions to your seasonal plans. Choose activities you could do alone, with family, and with friends. Consider things for indoor and outdoor days, and for different lengths of time. Ask others what activities they would like to do.
