Lance started his freshman year of High School today! I can’t believe I have a child in High School (am I really getting older?). He won’t admit it, but he’s pretty nervous. I am thankful that his first period class is band…so hopefully this will put him at ease by seeing some friends right at the beginning of the day.
Yesterday in church we celebrated the “Blessing of the Backpacks.” It was a great liturgy that was put together to bless our children as they start a new school year.
My hope and prayer is that all of our children have a school year filled with blessings and not bullies. Filled with learning and no doubt. Filled with excitement and no despair.
It’s rough being a kid. Let’s remember the struggles we each had in school and be sensitive and open to our children. Let’s remember to talk openly and not ignore their feelings. Their problems and concerns are equally as important in the realm of their lives as our problems are in ours.
Today I Am Thankful For:
1. The first day of school
2. Fat, spiral notebooks
3. Tower fans
4. A barking puppy
5. Washing clothes
