Ecclesiastes 12:1
"Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, 'Life is not pleasant anymore'.”
Now that school is just about up what do we do? Sit on our couches and veg...Become the world’s number one couch potato...
WHAT WILL WE FILL OUR TIME WITH WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT?!?!?!?
School is all about goals, and reaching said goals...such as:
• Test scores
• Class grades
• Passing classes
• Sometimes even achieving a goal higher than the bar was set
In the summer, what are our goals, what are your goals? Are they:
• Having as much fun as possible
• Making it last as long as you can
• Enjoying every minute
• Doing what you want
• Sleeping in as long as you want
Although these all sound fun and exciting after a long year of school, what about purposeful goals?
Goals like:
• Changing our community
• Or changing the world
• Becoming a better person
• Getting to know people around us a little better
• Developing our relationship with Christ, whether it be at a camp, or at a local youth group
• Setting goals like reading our bible a little more each day or stretching prayer time a little longer...
all this not to say that we cannot have a fun summer...go ahead relax, and enjoy your summer...but lets not forget our creator or the people around us over the summer,...go on vacation, hike, or hit a water park...and forget about the hassles of school!!
LIFE IS FULL OF CHOICES…WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DO, MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES…
