New Beginnings
Yesterday was a big day at our house. Two new beginnings. It was Andy’s first day of first grade and the first day with our new puppy. I just love new beginnings. Fresh starts. Clean slates. And in this case, a new backpack, pointy unbroken Crayons and fresh holes in the backyard.
I love my life and the comfortable routine we have built here on our little 3 acres on a dirt road leading to virtually nowhere. But I also like the idea of getting a fresh start each day when I wake up. Yes, the coffee pot is still in the same spot on the counter and I like to drink my 2.5 cups with half and half out of my favorite LL Bean mug. Okay, I am a creature of habit but I like knowing that the Lord gives me a clean sheet of paper each morning to make my mark on. I don’t think He minds if it is the same mark I made yesterday or the day before or last week. I’m just grateful that I can still use the Crayons!
