Maria's Graduation!



Last Friday evening, we celebrated Maria's Grade 8 graduation at our homeschool co-op's year-end program.  Thanks for all your hard work, Maria! :)  We praise God for bringing you to this point!

What a great evening - THANKS to all who contributed & helped, and a big THANKS especially to the Firm Foundation group for welcoming our families in this year!  It was a real blessing to be a part of this special group every Thursday, and all of us enjoyed it so much! ...except perhaps for David, who was not so happy in the babysit, although he's gotten a little better lately perhaps. :)  Too bad it's over now, except for Track & Field next week!  Here are some pictures taken that evening, although I will save the play for another night.

 





Wisdom is better than rubies,
      And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.
' I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
      And find out knowledge
and discretion...
I love those who love me,
      And those who seek me diligently will find me...
Hear instruction and be wise,
      And do not disdain
it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me,
      Watching daily at my gates,
      Waiting at the posts of my doors.
 For whoever finds me finds life,
      And obtains favor from the LORD.'
Proverbs 8:11,12,17, 33-35

Maria - congratulations on your graduation! Exciting time, eh? The dress you and your mom found is just lovely - and you look lovely in it! Sometimes I can't believe how fast you girls are growing up. Yet it's a joy to see b/c as you grow up physically, I can see you are also growing in your knowledge of and relationship with the Lord. And that is wisdom - even more important than all the knowledge you're aquiring in school (though that's important, too ;) Have a wonderful summer! We all look forward to seeing your family in a coupla months! :)
