Imagine we're driving to the state fair! When we back out of the driveway, where does the driver look? That's right, they look behind them to make sure we're safe. But once we're on the road, have you ever asked, "Are we there yet?"

Sometimes we get so focused on where we're going that we forget to enjoy the trip! What else can we do in the car on the way to the fair? We can play games, sing songs, or just talk with our family!

Today is a Gift!

You know, it's easy to look back at yesterday or think too much about tomorrow. But yesterday is history, and tomorrow is a mystery. Today is special, though! It's called the present because it's a wonderful gift from God. Let's remember to enjoy this gift!

Thank you, dear Lord, for this special day, for the sunshine, and for letting us be here together. Amen.
