The End of an Era

Today was graduation day. This morning Janna graduated from preschool, complete with short ceremony and picnic at Marilla Park. Next year she hits the big time...Kindergarten. This evening, we attended Ryan's Kindergarten graduation. His class recited Scripture starting with each letter of the alphabet, spoke Spanish, sang Scripture songs, and generally wowed the crowd. We're thankful that God enables us to be able to send our kids to a wonderful, Christ-centered school.

It is awe-inspiring for Belinda and I to watch our kids grow and mature. It's hard to believe an entire school year has passed since that first day in September when teary-eyed Moms took their children to class for the first day of school. Along with the excitement of watching our kids grow, I feel a real sense tonight that the Knight family has come to the end of an era. The preschool years are over. In September, Ryan enters first grade and will experience the homework that comes with the territory. Times are changing.
Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it. - Proverbs 22:6

Cherish every moment and enjoy your children while you can. Next thing you know, you will turn around and they will be gone.
