They walked in again. Last evening we asked our girls, "do you want us to walk you to your classroom tomorrow morning?" They answered, "no, we are fine." What did that say to us as parents?
They are growing up so fast. The first day of school is just another day in their lives. No big deal and all will be fine. What a great time to watch them, encourage them and to help them to do well.
As a parent, it is an honor to raise the little ones that God has entrusted to us. It is a blessing to learn what God goes through as He watches us and deals with us. Look at the Bible and see that our Father's love is real, His help is close, His words are right and His presence is what is needed.
After taking the kids to school, I sat in the truck and listened to the radio as Todd Agnew's song "My Jesus" was played (I love that song).
Here are the words from the song that rung in my heart today:
Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church
The blood and dirt on His feet would stain the carpet
But He reaches for the hurting and despised the proud
I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd
And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud
We need to hear and see this reality. God so desires to be interacting with us in our daily lives. We serve in His church, and by serving others we are serving Him.
"...God loves you dearly, and he has called you to be his very own people. May grace and peace be yours from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 1:7 (NLT)
