It’s a pretty common end-of-the-year situation for youth pastors–what do you do with all the graduation parties? How do you attend all the gala events marking this milestone for the seniors you have come to love? Do you buy gifts for all the grads? Do you buy the same gift for everybody, or do the ones you know better get better gifts?
The fact that so many of our seniors have been part of our lives and ministry is a blessing. Kim and I have been very close to this graduating class, and we are taking a group of them to the DR following their graduation ceremony.
I have my screen saver set to rotate through the pictures in my iPhoto files. It’s fun to look back over the years of pictures, seeing the faces and places that have been part of these seniors experience. God has let us rub shoulders with some truly amazing young people over the years. I’m grateful…
Tomorrow is graduation for State High. I’ll be there, along with thousands of other family and friends, celebrating our seniors, marking their final act as high school students. There will be beach balls launched and confiscated, a senior video full of inside jokes, and lots of cameras in action.
Capture the memories. Remember the lessons learned, and look forward to seeing God move in the days to come…
