Hi Everyone. It’s Thankful Thursday again. Iris, our original hostess for this meme, will be returning and sharing TT with Laurie and me. Here is the schedule.

Lynn at Spiritual Unequal Marriage – May, July and October 2009

Laurie at Women Taking a Stand – June, September, and December 2009

Iris at Grace Alone – August, and November 2009

I know it is a tad bit confusing to keep on top of who is hosting but you can always find the schedule at Grace Alone. This month, June, we hook up over at Laurie’s, Women Taking A Stand.

Well it’s the end of an era today.

My daughter is leaving Middle School. Her promotion ceremony is next Friday. *sniff.. sniff* I’m sure I will share more about that next week. However, today is the day that I retire as the Middle School Band Treasurer.

Hallelujah!!!! And yet, I feel sad at the same time.

Band was a wonderful experience for my daughter and for me. I am thankful I was able to be part of this special part of my daughter’s middle school years. This is especially true because she is turning to drama in high school and leaving her band days behind her.Imported Photos 00074

Our experiences with band were awesome. Priceless memories, indeed!

But, the best part of band….. my daughter received the gift of music. It will always reside in her heart and that's a wonderful gift from God!

Have a blessed Thursday. Lynn

    Isn’t it amazing how quickly they grow up? Children are a gift and I know you’re treasuring your gift. Have a great Thursday!

    My daughter is also “graduating” to high school, but ironically, they merged the middle with the high school, so it isn’t really a big thing here where we are, although it is for me. 9th grade. Holy cow, it goes so quick, doesn’t it?? 🙁

    Bitter sweet….yes.
    The days ahead will be also. Such is the beauty of life. That bitter gives us such a taste for the sweet.

    Isn’t music, and all the little joys that come with it, just the best?!?
    Your daughter has so many adventures ahead in high school; is she excited?

    I understand the bittersweet emotions. It’s true that you’ll have other opportunities to participate in other activities now, but I know how it is to leave behind something that’s been special.

    I hate it when eras end… But when there is an ending, there will always be a new beginning.
    A couple years ago my baby left middle school. It’s hard when the last one leaves. Yet, if everything stays the same, we get stagnant.
    Nobody wants that!
    God bless you both and there’s no telling what God has in store for you next!

    Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation. She’s growing up! I miss emailing you but it’s been kind of busy here and I know you’ve been busy too. But I just want to say I’m thankful for you, friend.
