Routine

Parent’s Corner- August 19, 2018

 “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

                                                                        Ecclesiastes 3:1

 Routine.  You can love it or hate it, embrace it or resist it, curse it or bless it.  Whatever your feelings are towards it, you cannot help the fact that it is almost always present, and inevitably, it often changes. 

In this season, my family will be getting back into the routine of school.  It is familiar, but not exactly the same as it has been in the past.  Some things are the same, and many things are different.  Such is the nature of routine. . . much the same, and much different at the same time.

As you begin your new Fall routine, may the Lord give you the strength, grace, energy, peace, and perseverance you need to glorify Him in it!  If your new routine includes car pools, below are some ideas of things to talk about!
