First Day of School

The first day of school is always filled with such a range of emotions.  Fear, excitement, wonder, sadness, hope, joy. Today my daughter started her journey as a student, all be it in a pre school setting it is school non the less.  The fact that she woke up at 3am wanting to get up and go to school tells me she understands the importance, value, and excitement that comes with learning, being a part of a community, and gaining understanding of the world around you.  As the students walk in to my class today I pray that their eyes, minds, and hearts be open to all that this world has to offer.  I hope and pray that I can meet the needs of all that cross my threshold to support, inspire, and value all that is good in the world.  Let this year be amazing.
