Back to School!
August 22nd, 2008
This week, all across our great country, young people are going back to school, but I like to think of ‘em as going forward to school! For example, there are many young men and women who are leaving home for the first time and traveling across the country to a school and brand new, huge, important chapter in their lives. Please join me in lifting them in prayer as they try and mesh with a pot-luck roommate, perhaps sharing a room for the first time, shraing a bathroom with strangers from all walks of life, etc. While excited, remember that many grieve having to actually leave the comforts of home and the security of parents. And parents… I know while you take a couple of deep breaths of relief from the day-to-day grind, you grieve, missing your child. Perhaps you fear for their future, etc. Please folks, let’s lift one another during this transitional time – we all need each other, and certainly we need the strength, guidance, and comfort of our Lord, Jesus Christ!
