Dear Friends,

Summer is here! And after what seems like months of rain, the sun has finally made a welcome appearance, just in time for the summer holidays. The Bible teaches us about the vital importance of weekly rest: one of God’s first commandments was to ensure that we take a day’s (sabbath) rest each week (Genesis 2:3). Psalm 23 also reminds us that God wants us to be restored and renewed by our time of rest with Him. August is traditionally a time to relax, rest, and recharge our batteries. A time for getting up later, maybe, with no need to rush to school – or to work! Finding balance in our busy lives is not easy. It’s a deliberate choice. Being still during our busier moments gives us the opportunity to rest, refocus on God and to receive His peace and energy for the day ahead. Summertime is the perfect opportunity for us to make more time to be with God. To experience His peace and calm, and to ‘just be’ in His presence. Enjoy quiet time each day with God and know that he is always with you, no matter what.

I hope you have a wonderful Summer and that you enjoy time off with your families and friends.

God Bless,

Clare
