Today we had a surprise party for my nephew. Just a few weeks ago, he graduated from high school. He is already working his summer job and is set to begin college this fall. What happened? Wasn't it just a few years ago when he was born; or when he burped in my face and gave me a whiff of what a full belly of baby formula smelled like? Did he really just walk across the stage and pick up his diploma?
Time flies! He was the first little one in our immediate family - so of course we spoiled him! Regardless, he has found his way: excelling in school, hunting, fishing, playing football, and best of all - following Jesus. :)
So for my nephew and for all the new graduates, I wish you the true happiness that only God can give.
Psalm 144:11-12, 15 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaks lying words, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood—that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style; ... Happy are the people who are in such a state; Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!
