Okay everybody, I'm going to let you in on the best kept secret of New Covenant Academy. Come closer so I can whisper it in your ear...are you ready? It's called...car line.
Yes, now my secret is out and I'm sure there will be a stampede to come and help me! But in case you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, let me enlighten you. It is my distinct privilege to stand in the driveway each morning and help children out of their cars and into the school building. And let me just tell you, it is the highlight of my day!
To see those smiling faces come bounding out of their cars, shouting greetings to their friends, then go running into the building, is the greatest way to start your day. There is something so inspiring to see such innocent joy. Granted, my cheerful "Good Morning" is not always met with equally cheerful responses but some are just not morning people and that doesn't deter me one bit.
Somehow all is well with the world when I can see these sweet faces so excited about what the day has to bring. It reminds me of two Bible verses:
"I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Luke 18:17
"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
Can you think of a better reminder on the proper way to approach your day? That's why I find this particular duty such a delight. Well, except on rainy and cold days. Then there are other verses that come to mind...but that's for another day!
