Preparing for Summer Vacation


Summer officially arrived this week, and families everywhere are loading luggage and beach toys into minivans and heading out for one of the 230 million summer vacations celebrated in this country each year. But how much time has been invested in preparing the hearts of the eager travelers?

Last year, C.J. Mahaney wrote a series of blog posts to address the spiritual challenges of vacationing. He encouraged fathers and husbands to begin preparing their hearts—and their schedules—to lead their families in a “God-glorifying, grace-filled, relationship-building, memory-making time together.”

The three-part series was posted here, here, and here. But the simplest way to read his series is by downloading it as a single, printable PDF file (download here).

Happy vacationing!
