God Bless America




Lauren participated in her school graduation program last night. It is hard to believe that my little girl is about to start kindergarten. The theme was a tribute to our troops and our Country. It was a beautiful program. The kids were escorted into the auditorium by a navy Sergeant if full uniform carrying the United States Flag. The children all wore red, white and blue and sang songs including "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful." It was a wonderful night. I was very proud of our little girl and just can't get over how fast she is growing up. I just want to freeze time and keep her five forever. She is so sweet and so fun. Just a precious little angel -- until her brother gets home from school!
The last song the children sang was entitled, "Before We Say Goodbye John 3:16." I had never heard the song before and was so touched by the words and the message. It basically was a story of friends parting, but before they left each other, one asked the other friend if he new Jesus and went on to witness to his friend. The children recited John 3:16 and it was so special hearing it from their sweet voices. It was a beautiful reminder of Christ's love for all his children. A perfect ending to a very special night!
