Isn't EVERYBODY going back to school? (The stores think so!) Well, when the last pencil is purchased, the last jean jacket bought and your first "little tyke" jumps on that school bus, your heart jumps too. Another generation is on its way to wow the world.....and then that kid, in a flash, grows up!
It's college time - now it's a laptop, a hoodie and a Honda! - but Mama still needs the Kleenex! Of course - that's how Mama's are!! They don't change - and neither does God. He's the same, generation after generation. He's still there, faithful as ever - K-through 12, college, graduate school, careers, marriage and more!
We can trust our faithful God, whether we're the kid - of whatever age! - or the parent (of whatever age too - hey, some of us are OLD - ask our kids!!). He will be faithful to a thousand generations....now that's higher math, if I ever heard of it! Have a great back-to-school time in your home, school or dorm, wherever you live, and remember - HE'LL be there!!
