I have written before about our family’s tradition of reading a scripture and saying a prayer together before our son heads out for his day at school. We feel this is an important way to share our values and a great way to start the day in focus.

My neighbor just started junior high this week. As I ran by the bus stop this morning, he showed me his school ID and as I came back by on my cool down, he was reading a text message on his phone. He said his mom sends him a prayer every morning!

I love it! his mom has to leave early for work and junior high starts the latest of all the schools here. So, even though his mom can’t be with him in person before he gets on the bus, she is making sure to send him a message to help him keep his focus and know that he is thought of, cared for and loved. His mom has found the perfect way (especially for teens!) to keep in touch and to help springboard his day on the right foot.
