Tonight I kissed my baby boy goodnight and cuddled with him a little extra long. Tomorrow will mark the beginning of his school years, and this mommy wishes time could stand still for just a little while. My baby -- my very last baby -- is starting school.
Yeah, I know he'll still be at home, but tomorrow he will be passing through a threshold of sorts. He ends one phase of his life and begins a new. I am ending the years of entertaining preschoolers and now officially have all school-aged children. I never do well with ending good things, even when what lies ahead is equally good. I can assure you that if they were all heading out to school tomorrow, I would be crying buckets right now!
I don't anticipate that schooling four kids will be easy, but I am thrilled that we'll all be together. I am eager to see the growth and development that this year will bring. More than academic progress, I desire for us to grow in our love for the Lord, and to develop character strength and maturity.
And words for me this week:
"Thy strength indeed is small!
Child of weakness watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all."
