School

Last night was "Meet the Teacher Night" for Luke, today was my first day of school, and tomorrow is Luke's first day of 2nd grade. Whew.

Getting up early this morning, and getting everyone fed, dressed, and off to the babysitter was rough on this ol' mama. I'm definitely NOT back in the routine yet, but thankfully, my resilient twosome did great. I am thankful for the blessings of this summer, because it was truly restorative for us. I already miss my kiddos.

With his proud mama and sister:


With his new teacher:


May our God, who gives us every good thing and who dispenses mercy upon mercy to us, grant to us wisdom (which He promises to give when we ask) and the desire to obey and to please Him in all things. Protect us from the evil one as he prowls this earth, and empower us to live with courage and in love. Bless this year, and through its days, may we look more like you.

Amen.
