Graduates

Get out your tissues because it is getting close. We are almost at the most special day of our year - GRADUATION! It isn't sad, but tears come when I think about what the future holds for each one of these wonderful children. It is the beginning of what will be wonderful years of education and careers that will change the world. These little pictures will seem like yesterday as kindergarten turns into middle school and beyond. "Drink up" your child's energy and innocence. Let it inspire you and do things as a family that are spontaneous - these are the things that memories are made of. "Childhood" is one of those times of life that "kind of" disappears without you really recognizing it and hopefully you won't miss it before it is gone. Sentimental? Yes I am...It was Marshall's 6th grade band concert tonight and it seems like last week when he was starting school. Honestly, did you think parenthood would be so hard? I can deal with fighting and bad grades and being sick - but growing up is not so easy. I guess it is the "letting go" that is the hardest part. For all of you preschool parents this is just the beginning.
So if your future looks like this picture above or this picture below - it is what God will make of it. He knows what spiritual gift your little one possesses. Many praises to each one of your parents who gave your child the gift of His love! Happy 2011 Graduation Countdown! (7 days and a "wake-up" until the big day.)
