It's all so new

Yesterday the school called about 6:10am to say there was a 2 hour delay. I was getting breakfast ready and packing lunches, but I didn't wake the boys. By the time they woke, I was nursing Maddie and they came down the stairs with a very confused look. I explained that school was delayed for 2 hours because of the fog. Ronnie said, "there is fog every day when we ride the bus". I tried my best to explain that it was worse today and that they would still get to go to school, but it would be a different kind of day.


Nathaniel was concerned to know if they would still have lunch at school and Ronnie asked, rather nervously, if they would be home in time for supper. I did the best I could to explain this new concept of 2 hour delays. When they got home yesterday they were disappointed because they had one less recess.


Then today we woke up and got ready before realizing there was a delay, Ronnie again was not happy, but even more confused when they called and said the delay was now a cancellation. Life is full of changes.



Change is hard. My kids learned that from me. I don't handle change very well, although I do better than I use too. The Bible says, in 2 Corinthians 5 that "if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has gone the new has come!" We are changed! Change is not all bad! Praise the Lord, He can change us!
