📖💚This Summer, we’re reading outside💚📖

2025/6/9 Edited to

... Read moreReading outdoors offers countless benefits, including a refreshing change of scenery and the ability to relax in nature while enjoying your favorite books. To make the most of your outdoor reading experience this summer, consider creating a cozy reading nook in your garden or on your patio. Bring a comfortable chair, cushion, or even a hammock to ensure comfort. Don't forget essentials like sunscreen, water, and a light blanket for cooler evenings. For the adventurous reader, park picnics can be a great idea—bring a blanket, some snacks, and your current read. Check your local parks for their quiet, shady spots that invite prolonged reading sessions. You might also consider joining or forming a book club that meets outside. Many communities host outdoor reading events or book fairs, perfect for those who wish to engage with fellow book lovers. Additionally, think about the genres that qualify for outdoor reading—light novels, poetry, or even magazines can offer a more relaxed experience compared to heavier books. Choose titles that match your mood; you may find that the stories resonate more when read in the fresh air. As the days get longer and warmer, embrace the joy of summer reading outside—it’s a beautiful way to enjoy literature while soaking up the sun.

Did you know that reading early, before age 7, can actually be one of the main causes of dyslexia? The brain isn’t developed in a way to read until around 7 and if you try to have kids read before that age, they have to use a different part of their brain and it can cause issues down the road as

Daily Bible reading 3/5/26
Reading 1 — Jeremiah 17 In this reading, God speaks through the prophet Jeremiah about where we place our trust. God compares two kinds of people. First, He talks about the person who trusts only in human strength — relying only on people, power, money, or personal ability instead of God.
