Grace's Graduation

I was blessed to spend May 10th and 11th in Arkansas with friends who have become family.

♥ My favorite set of twins--Arianne and Jennalyn. ♥

Laughter...It is the sunny side of existence.

-Lord Byron

Ice cream with friends = the perfect end to a great day!

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile,
nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to
us when we discover that someone else believes in us and is willing to trust us.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Congratulations, Grace!

Harding University has a beautiful campus!

We enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship during a luncheon hosted for Grace after the graduation ceremony.  It was great to be able to meet her Harding friends!

The peach cobbler was amazing. I'm pretty sure we all ate three or four helpings. :)

We excitedly awaited the arrival of Grace's family from South Korea. We had never met before, and Grace had not seen them in four years.  

Like cold water to a thirsty soul,

    so is good news from a far country. -Psalm 25:25

Grace's family members were our good news from a far country. 

Tears of joy spilled over.

 

Language barriers come tumbling down when there is love and the common bond of Christ.

Grace, you are a blessing to everyone you meet. I'm thankful we were able to spend two years together in college! My life these past five years has been more joyful and fun thanks to your friendship! ♥
