Another 1st!

Cayden's 1st time feeding himself:

Little remembrances are the best!

I wasn't at home this morning because I was at a conference with Carson's teacher. I found this note that he left for me this afternoon while I was putting groceries away. I really hope the boys stay this thoughtful as they grow up!

Soccer season #1 done!

1st day of school prayer

Mom's 1st Day of School Prayer

Here we are again, Lord.

Their backpacks are loaded and their faces are scrubbed.

And I know you'll walk with them, Lord.

You always do.  But a mom still has to ask.

Will You walk with them?

Will You whisper to them what they need to hear, when I'm not there to whisper it?

Will You please, oh please, cover their school with the protection only

You can give, and will You keep harm far away?

Will You make their minds strong and ready to learn?

Will You help them understand that hard work honors the One who created them?

Will You guide their teachers, giving them patience and 

wisdom and creativity and more patience?

Will You bless them for their efforts?

Will You love all those children there, 

the ones whose lunch accounts aren't full, the ones who feel alone?

Will You teach my children to be kind and unselfish

and to love those who are different from them?

Will You point them back toward home just as soon as you can?

Lord, I give them to You today and everyday,

trusting them to Your care.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
