Kindergarten Luncheon

Our church had a luncheon for all of the children that were starting Kindergaten this year. This sign was the first thing I saw and I think my heart stopped. I definitely teared up! Wow, my baby really is starting school. When we walked in, each child got a bag full of candy, markers, pencils, and a notepad. This is their bag for church. What a great gift! Once they get into K they go to big church with their family. Alexandra has been going with us and really enjoys it. I knew it was coming so I wanted to "practice" before it was the real deal. They were taught about cafeteria etiquette. How to hold their trays, make choices, eat in a given time, and dump their tray. The moto was line up, eat up, clean up, and listen up! It was very exciting to see the children do so well. We did not have one spill. Everyone had fun and even the moms and dads had a great lunch too! It was good to see Alexandra could do so well on her own. I know she will love school and enjoy every minute of it. She loves to play school at home. My sweet little girl is ready for K now it is my turn to be ready and let her go.....A small gift I gave her was a cross charm. I want her to remember that God loves her and He is with her even when I am not. I know God will take good care of her when she is out of my hands! That is what is going to get me through the first day of school!

The Lord is always with me. Acts 2:25a
