parent-free but not alone

 "Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:8

For weeks students (and parents) were prepped for the upcoming independence day at school... the day students would enter the building parent-free.  Positive conversations, encouragement and excitement for the big day all attributed to a smooth parent-less transition. There were few tears and mostly smiles and high 5's as students were greeted by teachers, administrators and staff members.

Yet, the students were not alone as they entered.  Some were accompanied by an older sibling to class.  But the greatest comfort of all was remembering no matter where we are or who we are, we are truly never, never alone.  

Thank You, Father, our Master Teacher, for always being by our side guiding, teaching and correcting our ways with Your precious love. When we have You, we have everything we need for life.

God is with you – wherever you may go,  no matter what life brings.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
