\"3189girlpraying_00000002441\"Just the thought of summer fast approaching might bring thoughts of rest and relaxation to mind. We may recall the lazy days of summer during our youth. Summer may also mean anticipated excitement and adventure\u2014exploring new places or trying new things.<\/p>\n

Some families plan escapes to beaches and paradise vacations, while others may stay home and plan day trips to fun spots, the local library, or parks and recreation centers. Anything out of the ordinary can be a very welcome change.<\/p>\n

The realization that summer is just around the corner can cause Moms to feel a bit (or a lot!) nervous too. They might not want to let go of their semi-structured schedule for the more relaxed bedlam,\u00a0craziness, and insane\u00a0structure of summertime.<\/p>\n

One thing we can count on\u2014the schedule will usually change quite dramatically. But there’s no need to fear. Let’s take the stress out of summer right now by pausing to plan a strategy.<\/p>\n

Summertime can certainly be a time of well-deserved rest and also a welcome change of scenery. While making plans for our families this summer, let\u2019s not forget about prayer because a change in schedule once we hit summertime and an eagerness to \u201cget away from it all\u201d could cause us to lose touch with our spiritual needs. We don\u2019t want to inadvertently let our prayer life go on vacation!<\/p>\n

I am passing along this article I wrote for the Catholic World Report about keeping our prayer lives active in the summer time. It is right here<\/a>. I hope that you enjoy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
