This last Saturday, we had our annual back to school dinner. We’ve done it since Ryder started preschool at 4 years old. We eat together while talking about the upcoming year and then pray together.
We chose the verses Matthew 5:14-16, about letting the Light of Jesus and his Spirit shine through them. The world can be dark but His light can overcome it as we see in John 1:9, the verse we used for their 2019-2020 year…
This is our prayer for our kids: that no matter which classroom they enter, which field they play on, any conversation or interaction that they have, that the Light of Jesus would shine through and bring Hope, Peace, and Love to those places. We prayed for our schools, teachers, administrators, and classmates.
Also, watching our kids pray over each other and bless each other with their words is unlike anything I have experienced as a parent. My heart is full.
To this 2025-2026 school year, the Rae’s are ready for you! We are excited for what you hold…
