In one corner of my dining room, there is a pile of glue sticks, pencils, and loose leaf paper that is so high, it seems to be supporting that side of the ceiling. My kids have lovingly examined each new thing, oohing and aahing over long, unsharpened pencils and fresh glue sticks that don't have hairs in them yet. They have each repacked their backpacks a hundred times and put their initials on each tiny item. Two little girls seem very ready for school and their mother is quite excited, too!
School starts for many of our children and grandchildren next week and the following week. We've got the pile of school supplies, new tennis shoes, and lunch boxes. "Have we forgotten anything," we ask, as we mark off our school supply lists? This year, take time to review your Biblical school list. Below is a quick review.....
1 large dose of daily prayer done by Godly moms, dads, grandparents, and teachers
3 reminders a week that God has a special plan for your child
1 Christian cd filled with up-beat praises to our Father (bus riders need to sing aloud)
5 prayers before you eat lunch in the cafeteria (Don't be afraid to bow that head)
Big box of tissues for all the tears caused by mean words, jealousy, and being left out!
Scripture band-aids to help heal those "world crashing" problems (get the water proof)
2 Small bibles (one to keep in backpack, one to give to a friend who doesn't have one)
1 pair of super tennis shoes that can run very fast from evil
1 very strong belt of truth buckle, breastplate of righteousness, helmet of salvation, and sword of truth which can be found at Ephesians 6:8-10.
Pray daily, friends. Whether you are home, public, or christian schooling your children...God has a great plan for their lives and will offer daily protection.
Below for your retro enjoyment....WISH SCHOOL WAS AS EASY TODAY!!!!!!
