The summer is coming to an end. I know, I know. Many of you will say, “Why, that’s not true at all! Summer doesn’t end until the middle of September.” Well, technically yes, but ask any grade school child or teacher and they will sadly declare that summer is over! Instead of feeling sadness though, I feel absolute gratitude. How many of us can say that we are able to spend everyday with our loving husband and beautiful daughter? Kevin and I have been in a very unique position this summer by not working with a ministry, and I would not take back this time for anything. We have a marriage and friendship that is stronger than ever, and we have a little girl who is happy and confident and completely secure knowing that Mom and Dad adore one another and her.
And now, there are school supplies to be purchased! I do get most excited about new supplies and meeting new students and teaching the lessons in new and exciting ways. I am reminded at this time every year of a favorite line of mine from “You’ve Got Mail” as Tom Hanks writes so poetically to Meg Ryan with respect to the onset of Fall, ” I would send you a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils.” What an awesome gesture!
And so, gone are the days are of sleeping in until The Price is Right. Gone are the days of napping with my sweet baby. Gone are the days of playing endless hours of Worms World Party with my husband. Gone are the days of staying in my pajamas until late afternoon…That is, until next summer!
