This morning I hastily wrote out a prayer in my rush to squeeze in a little time alone with God before we started our first day of school. Our day is done and we are all still talking to each other so I'd say God answered!
Abba, thank you for a new day. Please fill me with your love, the most important ingredient as we start school today. Help me to be fully present, love well and enjoy our time of discovery and adventure together. I know there will be some groaning and maybe even whining; I'll try not to do it too much. :) And if I hear it from others, help me not take it personally. Thank you for the privilege and resources to teach from home and spend our days learning together. Amen.
You won't have to guess which poses my kids chose and I went along with. All part of being a boy-mom (which I love!)!
