"Back to school is the theme in many homes this time of year. It can be
exciting for many children and teens to return to school; however it can
be intimidating for others. getting all the clothes and supplies can be
an expensive endeavor for the parents, too. The joy and anticipation of
learning, making new friends and moving forward toward greater
opportunities in life can make this time of year a real highlight for
many families.
Learning is not just
for children and teens though; we can continue to learn for all our
lives if we are open to the possibility. Maybe all of us can remember
the excitement of a new school year and take that anticipation into each
day. Doing so will allow us to receive the relationships and duties of
the day with a mind and heart that understands human growth continues
for a lifetime.
If you are
experiencing the 'lessons of life' and need help discerning what their
meaning might be, remember to draw on your faith and faith community, or
contact your unit Chaplain or my office at 410-576-6124 for help with
the 'homework.'
