It was a beautiful night, not too hot or too cold. The family was there of course including Grandma and the Minister of Youth. The night ended with fireworks (Thursday morning a citizen of town came to school to speak to an administrator to find out if his tax dollars were spent on fireworks for such an occasion. Both high schools in the district conclude the evening with fireworks. He felt in times like these we should be spending our money more wisely.) After the commencement, it took several minutes to find younger beloved, he was hugging friends. When we finally hugged each other I sensed he was crying. That set off the water works for me. I felt like every good thing and every thing not so good that has happened to our family in the last four years was just pressing on me. I wept so that some who witnessed it felt like crying too. I had to sit before I fainted.
God has blessed younger beloved to have the opportunity to attend Wheaton College where the motto is "For Christ and His Kingdom". My baby wants to go to a school where the motto is "For Christ and His Kingdom".
"But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides." Matthew 6:33 Amp
Are we blessed or what?
