New Day –
New Month – New School Year – New Everything
Oh the
excitement of today… the kids are going back to school. Can you remember that feeling?
I can. I
can remember our daughters having everything ready the night before and then
struggling to go to sleep. Then in the
morning they head out the door… gone. And the house is empty… my wife was alone
and not sure of the new routine.
I was always
at work and wondering what they were doing.
The first
dinner time at home was quite a time as they described all the events of the
day. The stories of who is sitting beside
who and who was now their new best friend.
Today the
energy of the excitement will keep you alive.
Now as
Grandparents we will call and ask what happened.
But today
we are not without excitement… two new kids are moving in next door to us. The
former owner/neighbor told us they are a nice young couple. Compared to people our age, as they were, is
that good or bad? Oh boy.
As really
nice young couple live directly behind us now.
They giggle a lot around their open metal fire pit… and do it longer
some nights when they celebrate. Will
the new couple next door be… younger as well? Oh Boy.
Could it
be I am like my Young Parent friends sending their kids off to school as well? The unknown is scary. The fact that something
is new or someone new is something I might have to adjust to is unsettling.
This new
is good. New school year is good. A New Class is good too. New friends are
fun. New school bag is neat. New books smell good. New pencils work wonderfully.
New
neighbors are good as well. It will be
fun meeting them and getting to know them better. And if they have kids, we will simply adopt
them… but no kids yet… we can wait a little to adopt them when they arrive.
At 68 I
am still excited about going back to school.
In fact – if I could I would do it all over again. Oh BOY!
Young
Parents I am praying for you folks today.
This is the best day of the year!
