reflections on our interview for my son’s school

You heard me right!  My son is applying to private school for first grade and we had to interview today.  We also had a to write series of essays as well.

There are no guarantees that he’ll even get in, but the process really does reveal what one thinks is imporant and valuable in one’s life.  I actually liked seeing my wife get emotional about our son’s education and his spiritual life.  If anything, today’s interview was just an affirmation on our view of what our responsibility is to our children.

I believe that our children are a blessing from God and we have the resposibility to educate them so that they can not only be productive members of our community, but also as Christians we are on a mission to make sure that our children are educated about God and his love and will for them. 

I know God has good things in store for our family.  All things won’t be easy and there will be challenges, but in the end there is the hope and promise of God and Jesus that his will be done, so consider everything a blessing be it good or bad in our eyes.

Today was a great day for my wife and I!   Maybe I am growing and maturing?
