Usefulness and fruitfulness for the Lord. My daughter, Brooke is graduating, and yesterday I was out doing some yard work, and she comes walking out of the house with her cap and gown. And she's like, Dad, can you believe this? And when I saw her, I, I blinked a couple of times and I just had this instant flashback.
I saw myself graduating from high school. It was, it just seemed like it was that short of time ago and now there's my daughter. How does that happen?. But it really, and I was telling her, I don't, I don't feel sad.
I actually feel excited, about what your future holds. So if I could take just a minute to pray for you graduates, along those lines, I, I feel very privileged to be able to do so. Let's, so let's look to the Lord in prayer, pray for these two graduates and also all of the graduates that are in our church, family. Lord, we, We do thank you for the young people of of this congregation and for the the blessing they are, the unique contribution that they bring, our, our church would be greatly impoverished if we did not have these young people that that we can invest in and.
And whose investment in us we can benefit from. And so we just thank you for bringing them to this milestone in their life and pray God in a special way that your spirit would rest upon them. May the hand of God go with them wherever they go. Keep them from evil....
