Graduation Time

Spring is traditionally the time for graduation in our culture it seems, but I suppose it can be compared to a lot of life changing journey endings and beginnings during our life. I have even read of death being considered the day of Graduation from a life of hard work to a rewarding indescribable venture with our Lord. As I view from my vantage point all of the activities involved in the graduation of one of my grand children, I reckoned it to a large train station where many travelers are ending journeys while others are preparing to journey on. It is a time of relief after a tiring trip, or an exciting time of adjustment to a new set of priorities, where values will be tested along with abilities to persevere along a path that some day with hindsight may be seen as obviously a path predestined by our Lord to take us into the possibilities of God's Kingdom. Not a path stumbled on by accident, but directed to by the the Holy Spirit after many prayers of hope for the future of man and woman kind. Gods direction towards righteous love for all of creation will prevail! Please Dear Lord may this be a good day today, thank you for all of Your great gifts and please stay with us all, guide us and protect us. In Christ name we pray, amen.
