This summer, don't forget to spend time with the Lord every day! 

As with my family, be sure your family's summer schedule includes daily time with the Lord.

    "Family Bible time" or "devotions" do not need to be long or complicated. Just do it!

 •  Set aside a time each day, perhaps while everyone is still at the breakfast or dinner table or before going to bed at night.

 •  Let God talk to you by reading His Word. You can read through the Bible each year in only about 15 minutes a day -- and you can start at any time (not only Jan. 1!).

 •  Take a few minutes to discuss what you've read. Recall facts, test comprehension by paraphrasing, and make applications. 

 •  Pray, sing a song, or memorize a verse.

     If you don't do anything else this summer, bring your family together to meet with the Lord each day!
