The Paradox of Summer Relaxation

When you think of summer, what is your first thought? Free time? Relaxation? It’s almost the opposite for many of us.

Throw in church activities, family reunions, and the occasional summer camp and your summer is booked.

One summer I heard a friend say, “I can’t wait to go back to college, so I can relax!” Can you identify with that statement? How do you plan to be a good steward of your time this summer? How do you balance your time between friends, family, and church?
