A Blessing for Backpacks...

A Blessing for Backpacks...

To those entering this school year with eagerness and energy -

        Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those entering this school year with nerves and worry -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those leaning in with curiosity -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those who feel not quite ready -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those who already have pencils sharpened and books ready -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those who just can’t wait for recess -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those who are feeling a little shy -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those who will struggle to be still -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To those who enter this year afraid or uncertain -

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.

To all those who enter this new school year

       with big feelings of every kind,

    may you trust that God is with you every step of your day,

          as close as your own breath,

             as steady as your own heartbeat,

                   as real as your own backpacks -

             now covered in blessing - so…

       Be blessed and know - You are loved.
