A Great Reward

"The Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness."  1 Samuel 26:23


You may be still waiting for some of my "profoundness" about graduation day, but you'll have to come back another day.  However, what a great weekend it has been...celebration galore, great family time, and many reminders of God's work in our lives.

One fun thing, that I can't help but brag about, was that Lyss found out she was the class salutatorian on Friday and had to give a speech in Saturday's graduation ceremony.  Four years of hard work paid off and the reward was the opportunity to say one last word to her graduating class.  Such a proud moment for this mom, that's for sure.

God rewards us when we are faithful to Him and His calling in our lives.  I pray that Alyssa and Kyle experience many other great rewards as they live righteous and faithful lives for Him.  It will always be worth the hard work, sacrifice, and time we give to and for Him!

Way to go, baby girl!  "You done good!"

Oh precious Father, my heart is full of praise and thanks.  Your reward and blessing on Lyssa's life this weekend was big.  I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always choose to live righteous and faithful lives in response to you and your call on their lives.  In turn, they will find blessing from you.  May they sense your deep pleasure in who they are, and the delight you find in what they do for you, still recognizing that they can't earn your love, but you give it freely to them.  Thank you, Lord, for the many blessings you shower down on your children,  I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always live faithful and righteous lives.
