. . . to 2nd grade. It was HARD to send them off today. Ever heard the song "There Goes My Life" by Kenny Chesney? It's a killer. That's what I kept thinking as I left the school today. But I'm learning to accept the fact that EVERY year will be hard. They're my babies, and it's incredibly difficult to send them off to the authority of someone else, to the influences of the world, out of the protection of their dad and me and our home. But then I'm reminded that God loves them more than we do and will surround them with His love wherever they go. Nothing will come to their lives that hasn't passed through God's hands. I have to submit them to Him and His plan for them - and I'm so thankful for that knowledge because without that belief I don't know what I would do.The house just seems so empty and so quiet when they're gone and I'm left wondering what in the world I should do with myself . . . ?! I know from past experience, though, this feeling usually only lasts a couple of days and soon enough I find myself busy with 20 different things.
To my best buddies in the whole world: we had a great summer didn't we? It was one we'll definitely remember always. I'll miss you during these school days but I can't wait to see what wonderful things you'll learn this year and see how you grow. I love you!

Oh Anne . . . my heart goes out to you. You are such a good mommy and you so love those boys but like you said in your post, God loves them more than you do and He will keep them safe!
For all of the love and dedication you give your family each and every day, take these "quiet days" and enjoy yourself. Relax. Pamper. Rest. Nap. Treat yourself.
Love and prayers being sent your way . . .
