First Day of Kindergarten

Well, this morning was a milestone for us as Sarah Belle started Kindergarten.  Laura and I woke up at 5:00 am, and woke the kids up at 6:00 am. They all woke up happy and very excited.  They could not wait to get to school to see their friends.  Sarah Belle could not wait to meet new friends. 

Everything was good until I was driving to the office.  As I was driving, my mind wondered back to when Sarah Belle was born and it contiued to roll to all the events of her life.  Finally, I walked in my office, sat down to begin my work and just laid my head on the desk and sobbed.  I thought to myself, "why are you doing this?"  Finally, God revealed to me that my tears were tears of joy for her as she begins this new chapter of life.  So, I began to pray "Lord, let our Sarah Belle be your instrument in her class to share God's love with the other children." 

Tonight, after a long day for all of us, I knelt by her bed to say good night prayers and she began to share with me all about her day.  I quickly realized that God had answered my prayer as she told me how she helped the sad kids enjoy their day.

Thank you  JESUS.
