It is hard to believe that another summer is slipping away.  July is gone and August is rapidly approaching.  As August arrives, we begin to think about the end of summer and the beginning of the school year.

But before summer is truly gone, take some time to yourself to reflect and recharge for another busy school year.  My husband and I always like to go on a retreat in August.

Retreats offer an excellent opportunity to spend some quiet time with God.  Free from the distractions of everyday life, reading the Bible and engaging in prayer, blessed with serenity, retreats can provide you with the peace you may be looking for. 

When my husband goes on retreat, I like to send an expression of love along with him. There are several items available at CTA that I have enjoyed purchasing in the past. Just click here and you will see what I mean!  (There are some for us ladies, too!)

Whether taking advantage of a retreat or just carving out some special time at home, these products will help you revitalize your prayer life!
