If Jonah is out of my site, he is either at church, at Grammy and Papa’s house, or at school.
I’ve got a good repore with the Children’s church leaders so I trust them to let me know how Jonah is doing during class…
If he is at Grammy and Papa’s they will tell me that Jonah did GREAT regardless of what happened to put our minds at ease (but at least I can count on Jonny to give us the real deal).
But when Jonah is at school, I place a tremendous amount of trust in his teachers, not only to teach him, but to keep him safe.
Jonah can not tell me what happened at school. I don’t know what happens during the day. I don’t know what he is learning… or IF he is learning. I don’t know if he’s being bullied, or bullying others.
All I can gauge about how school is REALLY is going for him is his reaction at being there.
After I drop Jonah off at school my prayer every day goes a little something like this…
“I hope he is learning.
I hope he is treating others well.
I hope he is being treated well.
But most of all, God, please keep him safe today, so I can see that smiling face when I pick him up.”
