Give God a thumbs up!

Good Morning Friends!  Wow!  It’s a “thumbs up” Wednesday!  Last night Cooper graduated from Kindergarten, of course Papa and I would not have missed it for anything, so after grabbing a quick bite to eat we headed to the school in plenty of time for the big affair.   We found a place to sit and then the wait.  Finally the principal came, welcomed us, and asked us to stand for the procession of graduates!  We stood, turned and smiled as we watched those precious little kiddos start down the aisle in their caps and gowns.  Oh my gosh, how cute they looked and were they ever serious!  They must have really gotten a talking to about being serious and walking slow (very slow)…..then we saw Cooper waiting his turn to go…..we both waved to get his attention, smiling as only a Nana and Papa can….only took a second until he spotted us!  His serious little face broke into a great big, ear to ear, smile!!!!  And then……out the blue, he gave us the “thumbs up”  high and proud, smile from ear to ear…..He was so happy we were there for him, to share in his big day…..just being there prompted him to “thumbs up”!  Gosh we were so happy…proud….The rest of the ceremony was fun, singing for us, a cute little movie interviewing them and then the diplomas and recessional!  A happy evening for sure!  As Papa and I drove home we beamed as we thought of him giving us the “thumbs up.”  My mind turned to our Father……turned to all the wonderful things He does for us, day in and day out…..He’s always there, everywhere with us, guiding us, supplying our needs, comforting us, giving us wisdom, blessings of family, friends, and HE’s always there….watching out for us….rejoicing in our happy times….Oh my….I just know that our Father would be so proud if we gave Him the “thumbs up” once in a while….just cause HE’s there…….ALWAYS and FOREVER present with us, for us……so come on all you all……one, two, three…..THUMPS UP!  Father, all honor, glory and praise to You….today and every day!
 
Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again:  Rejoice!  Philippians 4:4. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!  Psalm 32:11.  Be joyful always.  1 Thessalonians 5:16.  I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God.  For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.  Isaiah 61:10.  May the God hope fill you with all and peace as you trust I Him, so that you may overflow with  hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 15:13.
Love you all!!!!!
