Ethan's first day of school has come and gone. He's still hyper from all the excitement of today and I am about to crash any minute from waking up way earlier than I'm used to and no nap{I have an excuse!} today since all I could do was watch the clock counting down the minutes until I picked up my firstborn.
I just still can't believe this day is here. I know most of us mothers seriously can tell you that it was just yesterday we were bringing them home from the hospital. You wake up two days later and BAM::: they're in Kindergarten. And this is fairly accurate! To see where Ethan is now is such a handsome reward.
Psalm 127:3-4 says "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands." And that is what these past few months have revealed to me--I just didn't realize it until a precious friend shared this scripture with me{thanks Laci! For the blog post she shared click here} The past five years Ethan has been the arrow and Darren and I, the warriors. Darren and I have shaped and molded him into who he is today. Although my job is not done, it is so rewarding to see who he has become thus far. He has such a sweet disposition and is always willing to help those in need. He is thoughtful with a generous heart. He is serious with a splash of silly. And as earthly parents, Darren and I couldn't be more proud of where our son is headed. We praise Him for this new chapter in Ethan's life. We pray we can shape and chisel him in God's image so our son can be used for His glory. Congratulations Ethan on a successful & fun filled day in Kindergarten! We love you, sweet boy!
