4 Simple Steps To Staying Focused 

Summer is a gift from God—a season of warmth, travel, and family memories. Yet, even as we explore new places and enjoy the sunshine, it’s important to stay disciplined in faith, family, and personal growth. Here’s how to make the most of summer while remaining grounded in Christ.

1. Prioritize Time with God
Regardless of where you travel, maintain a strong spiritual foundation. Begin your mornings with a brief devotional or prayer. Encourage kids to read a Bible verse each day and discuss it as a family. Worship music in the car or on the beach can help keep hearts focused on God.

2. Balance Fun and Responsibility
Summer shouldn’t mean abandoning routines. Set simple goals, like 20 minutes of reading or math practice before pool time. Involve kids in planning activities to keep them engaged and motivated.

3. Enjoy God’s Creation
Whether hiking mountains or relaxing by the ocean, let nature remind you of God’s greatness. Use travel as an opportunity to teach kids gratitude and stewardship of the earth.

4. Serve Others Along the Way
Look for small ways to bless others—helping a neighbour, donating toys, or praying for those you meet. Serving keeps hearts humble and joyful.

This summer, embrace adventure while staying rooted in faith. With God’s guidance, we can enjoy His blessings without losing focus. “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31)
