A Letter to Jared on His First Day of School

Dear Jared,
           
            Can you believe it’s your first day of school?! I know you’re super excited about this day and that makes me so excited for you! Your teacher is thrilled to meet you and I know you will make so many friends. You are the sweetest, friendliest, most determined person I know. You always put the needs of others before your own and you never give up. Our family is so blessed to have you. Remember that it’s okay to make mistakes. When you go to school, you will learn new information and you may get answers wrong sometimes. That’s why you have an eraser on your pencil J You can always learn from your wrong answers and you can always correct mistakes. Nothing you do could make us love you less. Every day you will come home to your family and we will love you. Know that God is always listening, even when you’re too mad or sad to talk to Him. Remember to simply tell God how you are feeling and let Him help you feel better. He loves you so much and he only wants the best for you. He’s with you always. My prayer for you is that you will give yourself grace and let God use your heart to show his love to everyone you meet.  When you come home at the end of the day, the five of us will be here for you, and we will always be your family.

Love you always,

Mom
