We’ve come to the end of another school year so this will be the last writing for a while. A ‘Doxology’ is an expression of praise to our Father in Heaven. It is a beautiful thing to hear His children sing:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
We had two graduations this past week in our family. John walked across the stage as a fifth grade graduate. We are so proud of John and he is excited to enter junior high next school year. My favorite picture from Kenya could have been taken any day we were in the villages: John walking down a dirt path arm in arm with five or six African friends. I learn a lot about love from this eleven-year-old.
Taylor graduated from his Masters’ program at Georgia State University with an outstanding grade point average. Of course Taylor and Emma’s greatest blessing this year has been little Wilkes, who is already being spoiled by four grandparents who live nearby.
I praise God for a year of health. We have tried to learn to ‘seize the day’ and to be grateful. The first week of June the doctors want to put me through a couple of major medical tests as they are always concerned about multiple myeloma activity. As always, Susan and I cherish your prayers.
I’ll close with the ‘Benediction’ that God gave Moses to bless the children of Israel. May we live each day with the assurance of our Father’s love.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
