Subject: The
sneeze
They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two
students filing into the
already crowded auditorium. With their
rich maroon gowns flowing .. and the traditional caps, they looked
almost ... as grown up as they felt.
Dads swallowed hard
behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.
This class would NOT pray during the
commencements----not by choice, but because of a recent court
ruling prohibiting it. The principal and several
students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the
ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no
one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the
graduates or their families.
The speeches were nice, but
they were routine.....until the final speech
received a standing
ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the
microphone.
He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then
it happened. All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly
SNEEZED!!!! The student on stage.. simply looked at the
audience and said, "GOD BLESS
YOU, each and every one of you!" And
he walked off stage...The audience exploded into
applause. This graduating class had found a
unique way to invoke
God's blessing on their future, with or without the
court's
approval.
Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to
all your friends.........and
GOD BLESS
YOU!!!!
This is a true story; it happened at
the University of Maryland.
I love that story!!!Thank you!
