In life, it is quite easy to develop a poor attitude. Spending your life online will give you a poor attitude. Listening to nothing but news programs will strain your attitude. Developing a skeptical mindset, a critical spirit, and a cynical, sarcastic tone will sink your attitude into the abyss of a bad attitude. This will lead you to carry the weight of the world on your back and to develop the habit of blaming others for everything in life. Then all of a sudden, you adopt a victim mentality: Everyone is beating you up. God has a better way.

At times, it seems summer slows life down, so you can breathe, take some personal time, and renew yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Parents with kids at home still have to navigate personal schedules, plus camps, perhaps Vacation Bible School, and other special opportunities children are afforded today.
