First Day of School

Ben and Gabe went to their first day of school!

The boys have not been to pre-school or a day care so we wanted to get them used to the idea of getting up in the morning and attending school by enrolling them in summer school. Here is one of the greatest things! There were two other boys from our church in their class, and a little girl who attends the play group in the summer with some of the young women in our church. I can just see God using these kids to encourage one another for the next several years as they grow up and grow in the Lord. Public schools can be tough places for kids trying to serve the Lord, but they are also a mission field and a part of our culture that we have to learn to engage, even at a young age. You feel a lot more confident when you know that God is working in some other students. The Christian students will have a better influence socially at school because of their numbers.
