On our day of backpack blessing, we remember that our whole lives are lessons to those around us. What are we teaching them? The Disciples who sent children away from Jesus, their parents who brought them to him, and Jesus, in his reaction to them, all taught lessons, some intentional and some not. So let us share what we believe by our lives and our words.
