One of my favorite passages in the Bible is from Ecclesiastes..."To everything there is a season...a time for every purpose under heaven." Summer is a season for so many purposes!
It's a time for less structure, fewer demands on our time and a break from the ordinary.
It's a time for new friends made at the lake, new skills learned at camp and new destinations reached.
Summer means fireflies, bikes, hikes, and fireworks.
It's about baseball games with eager players who sit on the bench, their first pairs of new cleats swinging back and forth in anticipation.
This season is for slowing down and sleeping in.
And, for those of us living with children who have special needs, it's about maintaining skills, providing some predictability, learning flexibility, deep breaths and even deep belly laughs. It's a season for different kinds of growth for our kids--and for us.
I wish you the richness of a very special summer~I hope it will be a "time to keep."
