Summer might be a good time to pick up a charitable volunteer job in your community or church.   Summer brings  a change of pace for many of us.   Children are home from school.   Parents work longer hours so that they might have an extra day off each week,   Children can sleep in a bit and have more idle time than they ever have during school.   But what do we do with all this free time?   I recommend finding a place and time to do something for somebody else.    Many times when we do for another, we are the ones that reap the benefit.   Have you ever completed a task for someone else and felt so fabulous after the fact?  God's desire is for us to take care of His people and we do so every time we help out another with no expectation of any recipication.   God just loves it when we do that!   2 Thessalonians 3:13 tells us to "not grow weary of doing good".   Maybe we should challenge ourselves to do something good for somebody else every week this summer.   I'll bet God would bless our socks off if we did!
