First Day of School

September kind of feels like the real new year. I can remember getting a new pair of shoes, new jeans and shirt, just hoping I would look cool enough to all of my grade school friends. I totally remember when I finally got my first pair of Nike's... white with blue swoosh! That was a good day. Yes, indeedy!

This morning I helped Sam (4th grader) and Hope (1st grader) sharpen no. 2 pencils. That smell brought back memories that warmed my heart.
New school clothes and new school supplies are great; I guess because of what they represent. A new start. That's what this month is about for me. In fact that's what this very day is about for all of us. Jeremiah said it well... "His mercies are NEW every morning." This is a good day. Yes, indeedy!
Pencils sharp and ready to go!
