A Fun and Productive Summer

by Lois Breneman
 
If you're looking for lots of activities of things to do with your family, check out "Children - Activities" in the Category List.  It includes lots of ideas.  Just because school lessons are over for the school year, doesn't mean the learning should come to a halt.  And remember that life is more than sports.  Use this summer for teaching your children how to save money, by using some of the money saving tips given in the preliminary newsletters.  Or do an Internet search to learn a new skill.  Prepare your children for life.  Other than teaching them how to have a close relationship with the Lord, teach them how to handle money, how to work, how to organize, and how to make things.  How about woodworking, auto mechanics, sewing, quilting, knitting or crocheting?  Sewing is one of my favorite things to do, and in recent years more young ladies are deciding to learn this and similar skills.  Enjoy your children this summer, and teach them skills they can use the rest of their lives.  Grandparents, invest time in your grandchildren as much as possible.  They grow up far too fast!
