My son graduates from college tonight. Numerous classes and assignments, struggles and wins, tenacity and hard work has led him to this moment. It’s the culmination of so many prayers, purposes and plans. I have so many endearing memories and thoughts about his formative years and treasure each one of them. Our joyful cheering and our unending love will be extra loud tonight but will continue with him into his next season.
As he embarks on new days, it has given me cause to reflect on our final graduation day. We don’t know when the day will come but when it does I want to hear these words from my Master Teacher, “Well done, good and faithful servant! (Matthew 25:23)”
Until then there will be countless assignments, some days filled with tears and some with jubilation, and much pressing in to hear my Savior’s voice. When all is said and done, will He find me faithful in living my life investing in eternal things? Will He find me loving Him and loving others? Will He find me revealing the goodness of Him to all whose paths I cross?
I have one life and at the end of my time, on the ultimate graduation day, I just want to hear…
“Well done!”
Until then, we will live…
Rooted in Him,
