Dear friends in Christ,
School starts this coming week! Who’s ready? Not us. Leah will be starting 3rd grade; Josh starts Kindergarten, and Ben starts POP Preschool. They’re growing fast!
In a recent conversation about the day and Mom’s (and Dad’s) excitement of being there to drop them off, Leah very matter-of-factly informed us that she’s riding the bus to school on the first day. Since Leah is riding the bus, Josh insisted that he too will ride the bus. Then Leah got upset because she doesn’t want to share the bus with Josh, so the two of them went back and forth a few rounds. It ended in laugher with Ben chiming in: “Me! Me! Bus, me!” The kids are convinced this is a done deal, but Ben can’t ride the bus, and I have a suspicion Mom will get the last word on the first day.
Thankfully, the blessing of the backpacks is this Sunday – just in time! I think it might be a good idea to pray for blessings on more than just the backpacks! I’m not too worried, as I know the Lord regularly works miracles, both great and small. This weekend we’ll be talking about Peter walking on water, fear, and doubt. It ends with a good confession: “Truly you (Jesus) are the Son of God. Even if going back to school is a little rough – like the sea, we know Jesus is in control, and that he is God’s Son sent to save us. That’s our confession too!
So, come & be blessed. Receive Jesus as he comes to you in Word & Sacrament for the forgiveness of your sins. It’ll get you through the start of school and whatever else you’ve got on your plate this week. I hope to see you soon!
