Day 4

Today's service was uneventful. I volunteered my time at Caleb's school again selling tickets for the dance tomorrow night. Monday, we sold 15 tickets, today, 113. I love watching the kids interact with each other. I look back at my own Jr High days, and I see so many similarities. Hair styles and clothes are slightly different, but all in all, not much has changed. My presence at the school today was not necessary to the success of ticket sales, by any means, however,  I do hope that Caleb knows that I am there because I love and support him. That would be my measure of success; that my son knows how important he is to me. The small glimpses I got of him at lunch mean the world to me. I know that not all moms have the time to spend at their child's school. I also know there are some who have no desire to volunteer hours at the Middle School. There are probably MANY kids who don't want their moms there. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have, my desire to be present, and mostly, for my children who welcome me into their world.
