Sam's Kindergarten Graduation

 Sam, the Graduate!

 my sweet, silly Sam!

All done!

Each year our local homeschool graduation exercises are a special event.  The current kindergartners open the program with a couple of songs and Bible verses.  This year, each child was asked to recite a verse he had learned.  We memorize a lot of Scripture here at our house, so I asked Sam which verse he would like to quote at his graduation ceremony.  He thought for a moment and then said,
"Keep your tongue from evil." 
Psalm 34:13
At first I thought about encouraging him to chose something a little bit longer.  I mean, he knows a lot of Scripture.  But then I decided that if he stuck with something short and simple, he would have a less chance of forgetting or messing up!  The rest of the children did choose longer passages--things like Psalm 23 and the Lord's Prayer.  However, Sam did a super job!  He quoted his passage loud and clear, and he did not stumble over a single word!

I am a little bit sad that my youngest child is completing kindergarten.  But, time just keeps marching on!  Next year I will have a 12th grader and a 1st grader, and a few grades in between.  I will be finishing homeschool with my oldest child and beginning with my youngest.  That is hard to think about!
