We blessed our children who are about to enter kindergarten yesterday--a wonderful community event pointing to the importance of every member. Girls wore their pinkest dresses; boys had shirts hanging out of dress pants. As the elders laid hands on the heads and shoulders of the children to bless them, parents stood, tears streaming, thinking"Where did the time go? I am not ready for this." Fact is, we were all a little blubberly. 22 new students about to be introduced to cafeteria food, ringing bells, and sitting still for periods of time much longer than at home Father, bless our children as they begin to put their toes out into the academic world. May they all find a friendly teacher and loving adults who will guide them gently..
