Last Day of School

Three little ones had their last day of pre-school before the summer.

Mommas’  hearts were achy.

It was a sentimental mile-marker.

And, so it begins, doesn’t it? Swirling thoughts of how one ending becomes a beginning to another.  All kinds of decisions are already being considered for what’s next.  Some are pivotal!  They determine the most likely trajectory for what follows after.  One decision can feel liberating while another can increase the weight already placed on a set of shoulders.

Let me tell you who’s not worried what tomorrow will bring.

These three little ones.

To be honest, they’re not even thinking about tomorrow.  They know tomorrow will come and still there is no worry for today.

There’s this confidence.  There’s this trust. It’s all wrapped up in the one they love.

Oh, to have faith like the little ones.

We’re not to worry what tomorrow will bring either.  It won’t add a single moment to our life.  It is the Lord who lifts the burdens of those bent beneath their loads.  He already knows our needs.  He has wings to shelter.  He has feathers to cover.  It is these faithful promises that are our armor and protection.

It’s a confidence.

It’s a trust.

You know what three little ones are thinking about today?

Ice cream.

“If you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him.”

He wraps them up in love.
