Nice title huh? Sorry, that is how I am feeling today. It is gray outside-which I don't really mind, we really need the rain, though I haven't seen any as of yet today. But it feels gray inside today as well. It is that time again when my boys head off for another year of school. It is both exciting and depressing to me. I have spent today getting everything ready. I love all the new school supplies, back packs, lunch boxes, clothes and books. But I hate to say good bye to them and our slow easy summer days and come to the realization that they are beginning another school year that is counting off the the ones they have left with us. Where does all the time go??
The house is so quiet, and lonely without them here, laughing, talking and yes, even fussing sometimes. But this morning God reminded me that I am never really alone. He is always here with me! And I am sure He has a plan for me for this school year. So, Wednesday I will shake off my blues and put on my happy face. I will send my boys off with a kiss and a hug and a prayer that they will do their best again this year in school, and that God will protect them from harm, and most of all grow them in character and in their walk with Him. And maybe Thursday I will go shopping with my mom!! :-) Look for pictures from the first day of school to come....

wow.... I felt that gray day right through your words.... but I did feel that ray of SONLIGHT you sent too!! it doesn't seem possible that the summer is now over (well almost over for us up here in Ohio) and that both of our boys will now be in school. The years do fly and though it makes me happy to see them grow up it also makes me sad because of everything that comes with them growing up and then being on their own, etc, etc. It is great to know though that our Heavenly Father is right there with us and is also able to be right there with them too!!
