I suggested that when they were handed their diploma, they should also get a hard hat.
We see hard hats worn on construction projects. While high school graduation is a worthy celebration, it also signals a defining moment as they begin building their adult lives. And this defining moment brings lots of opportunities.
These opportunities can include tremendous success…
…as well as teachable moments; i.e.: what’s the next right thing to do when things didn’t go the way they thought they would -- and/or were just plain wrong.
Thinking back to Pentecost Sunday when we celebrated God’s gift of the Holy Spirit to the church – it makes me think maybe we should have used a hard hat for Pentecost too…
…as a reminder that as we build ourselves in Christ guided by the Spirit…
…we’re always under construction in how to be grace-filled and loving because that’s always the next right thing to do.
Join us in the ‘construction zone’ Sundays at 10AM.
Together We Serve,
Pastor Mike
