It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… everywhere you go… Oh, groan.
I imagine some of you groaning at the idea of Christmas already. For others, like me, you just heard that song in your head as you read those words now, didn’t you? Admit it.
Why, though, does the idea of Christmas in August put some people off? I think it’s because we fear life moving too quickly. It’s too soon. Let’s not race ahead of ourselves. Let’s slow down and enjoy today and this new season beginning now.
August is a transitional month for many. The new school year begins. Some parents sing another Christmas song: It’s the most wonderful time of the year… I share that sentiment, too. It is a wonderful time of the year.
It’s still hot but the majority of the hot months are now behind us. The school year brings a bunch of new activities. And we begin looking forward to Labor Day, Trunk or Treat, Thanksgiving, cooler temperatures, a lot more hiking and a lot of our friends come back to Mesa in the fall.
Here at Hosanna, we are celebrating the beginning of the new school year at Little Palms Preschool. Our school is so much fun. Our staff and I just love getting to know all the new kids and families, and we love to welcome the returning families, too.
When school begins, we always reassure a lot of parents who drop of their child at school for the very first time. While some parents celebrate, most get quite teary eyed, at least on that first day or two. We assure them, however, that we will love their child like a child of God.
When you bring your child to Little Palms Preschool, at Hosanna Lutheran Church, you will be welcomed into our family. Then, it really is the most wonderful time of the year.
As our preschool year gets under way, the fun and laughter, combined with the joy and the growth, make time seem like it’s flying. We are committed to giving children the best foundation for their education. They will learn and grow and be so well prepared for the years of school soon to follow.
Those years will go so quickly. Time will go too fast. But they will know they are loved by the Lord who has made them His own children, too.
