When we head out to swim in the summer time we are always conscious about making sure we put on sunscreen. When it rains outside we look for our umbrella's (a little protection from the rain). When a baseball player gets up to bat he puts on his hat to help protect his head.
As I think of my kids going back to school in the next couple of days I think they too need a little protection. It saddens me at how evil the world is and what they are faced with everyday when they leave the house. We have tried to provide a little protection for them... Marc gave each of our children blessings on Sunday. This is a sweet tradition we have in our home. It is a quiet time (those times don't happen too often in our home) where there isn't any fighting or teasing. This a time where there are smiles and sometimes tears. So, I guess we are ready to start school. School clothes and shoes have been purchased, school supplies have also been purchased, hair cuts have been given and most importantly each one of our kids has recieved their protection for the year.
