Good morning, God
Lord, there have been some headlines lately abut a High School graduation speech that a teacher gave. Basically, the teacher/speaker told the graduates that they “were not special anymore”. That they had been pampered all their lives by parents, teachers and others, but now they needed to slip up and make mistakes and face them themselves as they try to make it as adults.
Well, Lord, this idea certainly flies in the face of what our Mr. Roger’s generation has been led to believe! We remember Mr. Rogers on PBS who reminded us and our children everyday that we are all special. And, if we are honest, we got to believing this and it helped us grow.
We also remember your word to us, Lord. One of your Psalms says that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” and that there isn’t any part of us that you don’t know and that you have known us even before we were formed in our mother’s womb. So, may we always remember that we are special because you made us, but we have the obligation to live according to your will and work in your way.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
