School will be out soon and as all parents know, that day is the real beginning of summer. Because summer begins a new chapter of enjoying life, how can we be good Stewards of ourselves, our children, and our society during these months of new challenges? Here are some helpful hints that you can include on your website, in your bulletin, or in your newsletter:
- Be good stewards of driving during these months when everyone is out and about.
- Keep close watch on children and elderly when weather is hot and keep everyone hydrated.
- Be very vigilant around water. A close eye can prevent a tragedy.
- Yard work should be done in the cooler parts of the day so you don't become over-heated. This is especially true of older folks.
- Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes and make sure your children do as well.
- Wearing sunscreen is an easy protection from skin cancer. Use it on yourself and your children.
- Going camping? Natural bodies of water, while looking clean, usually harbor bacteria that can make you sick. Only drink clean water you bring with you, unless there is potable water in campground.
- Remember to be filled with gratitude to our Heavenly Father for these blessed days and for all the blessings that fill our lives.
- And....Very Important! Take advantage of online giving and don't forget your parish during vacation time.
These are just a few hints that will help you be good stewards of this time of the year. More safety tips abound on the internet. Good stewards care about their environment and the people in it. Be smart, be safe, be a good steward!
