The house is buzzing this morning. Numbers 3 and 4 go off to church camp today, the first 5-day camp for Number 4. She will love it, and they both will come back on fire for the Lord…which brings me to what could be my favorite quote so far: “Hold the cross high so I may see it through the flames.” – Saint Joan of Arc. Based. Since I will not have contact with them until Monday, this one stays!
Typically, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, and 2-4 get handwritten napkins, but for the Summer Edition, we will be searching for consistency and hopefully a routine. Today, texts for 1 and 2, notes written in Sharpie on their snack bag for 3 and 4.
