June 12

Tomorrow marks the last day of school: the conclusion of kindergarten for Isaac, and fourth grade for Abby. And during our walk this evening, Abby made a remark that seems quite appropriate for the occasion.

It's hard to tell from the image, but she was walking backward. I told her she should turn around so she could see where she was going, and she replied "I don't really need to see where I'm going as long as I know where I've been."

Profound for fourth grade. Profound for anyone, really. And blessed words, especially after I alter them a wee bit: we don't NEED to know where we're going as long as we have faith.
