We won't necessarily throw a party or gather the entire family together to celebrate some graduations but we sure can be happy and thrilled that God gave us this moment.
I am convinced that all of us have graduated from something this year. I know I have. Let's see:
I was a finalist in a writing contest.
I have read twenty-five books this year so far
I planted wildflowers in a garden I've sorely neglected in the past
I gave my teen daughter's room a make-over and lived to tell the tale
Yippee! That's four things so far. If I sat here long enough, I hope I would think of more.

Before you raise the red flag and say God wants us to be humble and not consider these things--think of this: you feel it is good and right to honor those who have graduated, had birthdays, etc...right? Is it not also true that God loves us and gave us whatever to achieve the graduation? Yep He has.
So go ahead. Have a kudos party honoring God for helping you to graduate. Make a cake. Sing a praise to God. Have chocolate. Get ready for more of your graduations this year.
Your turn: share something you've graduated from this year. Don't be shy. Give us the chance to praise God with you.
