Today is the last day of July 2007. Before too long, August will be almost over and the kids will be getting ready to return to school. Is it my imagination, or are summers getting shorter and shorter?
Even as a mom, summer is my favorite season of the year. Summer means no homework deadlines, no rushing to do laundry on Sunday night, no lunches to worry about, having the whole evening to sit outside with my family and no bedtimes to enforce. Being a responsible parent is harder than I imagined. Keeping my children pointed in the right direction is challenging but worth all the effort. I've already seen the fruits of my efforts in my older two children and it gives me a feeling of satisfaction.
In a couple of weeks I'll be on vacation again. We've made plans to camp at the beach again and maybe take a trip to Laughlin. I hope everyone has time to spend with their families playing, talking and just enjoying each other.
Please pray for our troops and add a prayer for my cousin, Jan, who will be deployed to Iraq tomorrow. I will be adding another yellow ribbon to my tree tomorrow. The first one is for my son-in-law Thomas, the second will be for Jan.
God bless everyone and have a wonderful rest-of-summer!
