They walked in tandem, each of the
ninety-three students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With
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 rules.
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.
The graduating
class 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?
 
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
In God We Trust, United We Stand.
