It’s the last day of school in our school district. Tomorrow, graduates will receive their
diplomas and begin their lives as adults.
Though we do not have any graduating from our house this year, we know a
number of young people who are moving forward with their hopes and dreams into
unknown futures. They are speculating
about what their first careers will be and preparing to move into the next
phase of their education. In reality, we
are always learning. Education continues
as we experience life. Most learning
does not come from textbooks, though they certainly help, but from navigating
relationships.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for relationships and all
they teach us about ourselves, one another and you. Be with us as we experience the breadth and
depth of relationships, learning that each one, no matter how long, impacts who
we are and who we will become. Guide our
words and actions and help us to find relationships that will help us understand
the breadth and depth of our relationship with you. Amen.
