And their off!!!!!!!!!! Bless our babies as they go back to school:)

     Good morning, our skies are a bit dull this morning, the clouds seem to be smeared across the vast sea of gray. Hopefully the sun will come out and a nice breeze will blow the gray away and allow some crystal blue to shine through! We are forecast for a hot week this week to even hit  99 on Wednesday, something new for us here in Utah. Our summer has been unbelievably mild usually meaning our winter could be a beast of cold, ice and snow!
     Today many kiddos are starting back to school, four of my G-babes are up right this moment getting prepared to go. My two g-sons will be attending a new school this year as their mom will be teaching for the very first time, it is no doubt a nervous morning for the three of them. My oldest g-daughter is beginning Jr. High and was extremely nervous last night, she had more jitters than any of the younger kids. I promised her I would say a special prayer for her this morning and that I would ask each of you to pray along with me. So if you will I would so appreciate the love and support you offer.
     Our dear kind and loving heavenly father, I come to you "on bended knees" asking that you calm the hearts of all of our babies who will be going back to school this morning, that you will act as a shield of safety and will walk along beside them, each and every one, ensuring that they get to school and home without incident, I ask that you still the anxiety that is in my Teri's heart replacing it with ease and comfort, that you will lead her from one class to another without panic that she will find her way and that you will lay a calming hand upon her throughout the school day allowing her a pleasant experience this first day. Bless Sean and Paul and of course Taylor as they venture into new waters, may Taylor's new class prove to be eager to learn, filled with respect for her  and be allowed to feel what a wonderful blessing it is to have her as their teacher, bless Morgan our little dare devil as she begins 2nd grade, allow her to absorb what is being taught this year and to blossom from a rosebud into a full open beautiful flower. Father our babies are our future, they will one day lead this nation, they will be responsible for keeping prayer alive, I ask that you touch the heart of each parent this morning, that you wash over them the need to pray with their children, the need to speak your name in their day to day dealings and that they know with you all things are possible. I ask these special mercies and favors for all of the teachers, all of the students, all of the principles and counselors, in the name of our savior Jesus Christ, amen. Teach our children respect and love, in all that they do and know this is the only way we can get back what has been lost. I love each of you and pray that when the dismissal bell rings this afternoon that only beaming, smiling, laughing faces come from behind the school doors and that the kiddos will be eager to return each day!
    Parents may this day be a "deep sigh" after a long summer kind of day, may you take the time today not to do chores but to appreciate your time. Do something nice for YOU  and know that God is much pleased with the parent you are, this is your reward, take it and enjoy the quiet! May blessings be in abundance for you and yours and most of all may you feel our Father in Heaven's nod of approval and his never ending love! Have a gggrrrreeeeaaaattttt, day!!!!

As always please go to the comment section and feel free to let us know of any specific prayer requests you have, we stand ready to lift those in need in prayer many times this day! God is love, he is merciful and if we go through our savior Jesus Christ all of our prayers will be answered.
