See You at the Pole

Today, I took my oldest son to school early because of an event called "See You at the Pole". For those who aren't familiar, I quote from their website.

See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student organized, and student-led event. That means this is all about students meeting at their school flagpole to pray—for their school, friends teachers, government, and their nation. See You at the Pole™ is not a demonstration, political rally, nor a stand for or against anything.

See You at the Pole™ is scheduled annually on the fourth Wednesday in September...


It was very inspiring to see about 40 other kids already there as we pulled up to the school.

I think that I was just as excited that my son wanted to participate in this as he was in participating. I can't remember this event being around when I was in school. The thought of young Christian girls and boys, organizing and leading this event in praying for their school, each other and their country is incredible to think about. Wow, what an example kids can set for us adults.

It is really cool and exciting to see the wonderful ways that our Lord is maturing our children and I pray that He continues to mature them and draw them all closer to Him for His glory.

Because Truth matters,
George

You don't remember events like this because your old! Seriously the reason we never saw it was because it wasn't allowed.
Where we came from faith wasn't something you could participate in on school grounds.

I remember our first school orientation here for Megan and Matt, the teachers openly read poems regarding faith and the fact that they would be praying for our kids.

Last year at one of the football practices, the players were all huddled up listening to the coaches and one coach told them how much he loved each of the players and that not only did he pray for them on the field as a team, he prays for each one of them in their lives off the feild.
That would never happen where we are from...ever

I am so thankful for the men and women that come along side of our kids to help guide them, and seeing this makes you proud hat your child is going through life with other kids helping to guide each other and being a support system that most other kids never get the chance to be apart of.

Sometimes I think adults need to be apart of moments like this in their life, me included.
