Donny Dear God, My Grandpa says you were around when he was a little boy. Love, Dennis Summer is here and school is out. It is a playful, light-hearted time which children showcase with exuberance. Bumper to bumper, we head for the lake cabin, or mountain trail, or beach resort. We love to get outdoors, away from home, into God's world to relax and be re-created.
Perspectives change on vacation.
We feel less rushed when we realize that it may have taken a billion years for the sand we see to have eroded from a mountain range. Our perspectives change on vacation, and some of us realize what a strain we must have been under in our workaday world, because suddenly we are sleeping better, eating right, drinking less, and feeling fit. Some of us resolve to bring the spirit of vacation back into our daily lives, and others of us play hard on vacation but resign ourselves to the humdrum life we left behind. How we use our free time is a question of stewardship, whether it's a summer vacation or an hour in a busy day. We are told that we have more time on our hands than ever before, yet most of us feel rushed, over committed and endlessly busy.
