Roll call

Today is a big day. We await the announcement of our son's kindergarten teacher. School will start in five days, but today we will find out the name of his teacher. I stopped short of saying that we will find out whom his teacher is because we may know his/her name today but we won't really know who they are until time passes.

Anyway, we await the posting of the homeroom assignments. Our son is really excited about going to "big school"; I pray he maintains that excitement. He is a really good kid and loves to learn but we all know how school can be sometimes. We're trying to keep him excited. We also work a lot with our two kids every day, trying to teach them and instruct them. But, you all pray for us that we do it right and that we can truly be a teacher and instructor for our children.

Today's word is Revelations 3:5, NLT, which reads, "All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before My Father and His angels that they are mine."

As exciting as it is to be finding out the name of our son's first teacher, it pales in comparison to knowing that my name is written in the Book of Life. Our prayer for our children is that one day they will come to know GOD and serve Him. If that happens, everything else will fall into place. Pray with us that they will see JESUS through us and that they will one day want a personal relationship with Him.

So, again, we await the announcement. We are excited about this new chapter he is about to begin in his life, and in ours. There's only a few more days before he will begin "big school", only a few more days before he will answer attendance every morning. And, this anticipation reminds me that we will all one day stand before a Holy and Just GOD. The question is, "Will your name be in the Book when He does the roll call?"

Be Blessed,
