Okay, this might just be my favorite quote of the summer…
Life sort of feels like…the 5k Fun Run I didn’t want to sign up for, and planned to walk anyway, has turned into a marathon that I am forced to sprint and comes with no finish line. Good grief, is it just me, or did the race officially just get too long? Laura Phelps
What do you think? As we get to the end of August, I feel like the summer has been so long, yet also suspended in time. Maybe it is that the end of summer is always the beginning of school and yet that was a moving target this year. It some ways it feels like the finishing line keeps moving. In times like this I find it helpful to remember that there is more to the race that the track I am running. When I focus only on the race, I become exhausted. However, when I challenge myself to set my eyes on heaven, the true goal of life, I find the strength to persevere. For me, I am finding my best days are when I look up and not at the track.
Nora and I pray you and your families are well and that you are always able to look upward. We have been offering the new TEAM pay incentive for a month now and more of you have qualified each week. If you haven’t chosen to take advantage of it yet, please consider how making a 20 hour commitment could work in your life. We have been very gratified at how many caregivers have chosen to take advantage of the incentive program. We are still running a waiting list for all new clients, but with your help we have been able to start several families this month. Thank you for all you do.
