Graduation Day

God blessed you with
unique talents and abilities,
and you have used those gifts well!
You've taken nothing for granted;
rather, you have worked hard
to prepare for a challenging future.

Just as important as the lessons
that you've learned in the
classroom are the ways that
you've grown as a person:
the friendships you have formed
and the deeper understanding you
have acquired of yourself and others.

As you celebrate this milestone
in your life and look towards
a new horizon, never forget what
has brought you this far.

Remember the love of your family
and friends. Remember your own
sacrifice and hard work. And
remember that God has a special
plan for your life.

You have so much to be thankful
for and so much to look forward to!
May today mark the beginning of
many new joys and accomplishments...
and a continuation of all of the
good things that you have already
achieved.
