We are blessed in so many ways and in God’s time our prayers are answered…sometimes they turn out the way we had prayed, sometimes our prayers are heard but the answer is not what we hoped for and yet on those rare occasions our prayers are answered with such love and grace that what we asked for and what we were given was beyond our hopes and dreams.
Today at our University's graduation we faculty watched our students walk across the stage with joy, relief and gratitude. They were thankful to their families for supporting them, for staff and faculty for encouraging and mentoring and for our Lord, Jesus Christ for giving them the strength and endurance needed to complete their degree.
As I drove home and contemplating the evening’s event I was so thankful for being part of such a wonderful ceremony. For years I had prayed for a job that allowed me to work as team, to share the love of God and Jesus Christ and to teach.
God has blessed me beyond my dreams and prayers…I have been given an opportunity to prepare the next generation of Christian teachers as they reach out to children with the knowledge that incorporates God, wisdom and joy. Can life be any sweeter than that?
Psalm 53:2 God looked down from heaven on all people to see if anyone was wise, if anyone was looking to God for help.
So this evening I thank God for all our blessings, for answered prayers and the joy of being in relationship with our Lord. Continue to pray and talk with God...Keep your faith strong in the Lord and know that He hears and loves you.
Smiles & Blessings
