Graduation!

James graduated from 5th grade last week!


Here he is with his teacher. She was absolutely the best teacher he could have had for his last year in elementary school.
The speaker at the graduation, a father of one of the 5th grade graduates, who is also a teacher in the high school, spoke on Ecclesiastes 12:1.
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come...
It was a great message to the kids, about not waiting until they are grown up to seek the Lord, but to seek him now, to build that relationship with Christ in their youth, learning to lean on him today.
My prayer for James has always been that he would seek the Lord and follow Him with all his heart. I'm so proud of my boy!
