We are very proud of his accomplishments and know that he will use the gifts and opportunities God has given him in service to humanity. We just don't know what that means yet or where it will take us. However, it is a relief to have the grueling schedule behind us and exciting to start a new chapter in our lives. We look forward to where we go from here and what our future will look like. For now, we will take some time to enjoy the holidays with the family and regroup and refocus. After some much needed rest, we'll dream the next dream, and see where God will lead us.
Some more pictures of the day. Me and the graduate - with two of our five daughters who where able to make the ceremony - and me and the girls at the mall prior to the ceremony.
We had a great day going out for lunch with his parents and one of his brothers, popping over the mall for a few minutes, walking the streets of the 'big' city (the girls really liked that), and viewing a really neat graduation ceremony.
He graduated from a Catholic college so we prayed, sang America The Beautiful, and the speakers talked about how their education should be used to serve mankind. I really gained an appreciation for the role the Church has played in higher education over the centuries. These institutions were created by Christians with a Christian philosophy and ethical ideologies and it really is a shame to see so many taken over by the world with its skewed philosophies and ideals.
Anyway, we are very thankful for the ways the Lord has blessed us!
