My eldest graduated from college yesterday.
It was quite the accomplishment, really. He went to a Lutheran school, up north, and he isn't a Lutheran. He has struggled since kindergarten with "academics" but he's as smart as can be. Obviously. Despite his loathing of school, he got the degree and he's on with his life.
He was commissioned in the Army Reserves as a 2nd Lieutenant yesterday as well.
Oh, and his beautiful bride of 9 months graduated magna cum laud.
I'm busting my buttons, as my father-in-law likes to say.
But I know who to be grateful to. The Lord has been our helper, our sustainer, our main-stay. Nothing could have happened without His strength and power.
I know this!
As a home-school mom I knew the obstacles my son faced from birth on, intimately. I know their depths. I know his strengths. I know what a fine and wonderful individual he has become, and I am grateful to God.
May God bless them with peace and joy, love and hope. May He bless them with all that they need, and much of what they want. May He bless them as He has already, by leading them in His own paths, and in righteousness. May God be with them through everything. May He grant long and happy life to them, children and success.
A mother's blessing. God has already blessed so much. It is to His generous infinite provision that I appeal for more. Thank you Lord!
