Dear Parents,

As we all seek to navigate the craziness of life, we quickly get reeled into a frantic pace that can lead us to a crash. We sacrifice crucial aspects of well-being for the faux excitement of constant busyness. We struggle to slow down and turn it all off, fearing we or our kids might miss something or get left behind in some way.

We know that slowing down is important. It gives us the opportunity to rest, reflect, and recharge. When we slow down, we have the opportunity to foster meaningful connections and embrace a healthier pace for our family. This month’s parent resources offer some valuable suggestions and encourage us to adopt a different mindset. When we make the decision to take a step back, recharge, and cultivate a deeper connection with each other and with God, we begin to live in the way we were created to live.

Take a few moments to check out this month’s Online Parenting Class if you haven’t already. Maybe share it with a friend. Read this month’s blog article titled “Finding Real Rest.” Carve out some time to go through the Toolbox Resource, A Family Guide to Building Rest, which is designed to provide you with some practical steps to take over the course of four weeks to begin building habits and laying a foundation for developing a healthier pace that can help you to live in the way rest that God intends for you to live. These resources speak to the challenges many of us face in the fast-paced world. It’s an invitation to reconsider our priorities, create intentional moments of connection, and lead our families in a way that aligns with our faith.
