We just had some really cool news in the Laffoon family. Our son Torrey was selected to the National Honor Society as a Sophomore and Grace was announced as the 2nd best reader in all of 4th grade!
I guess I'm proud of my kids for a couple of reasons...OBVIOUSLY these are great academic accomplishments. But the real reason I am so proud is that they have accomplished something I never did or really even could have done...
You see, I wasn't very academic in school. In fact my moto in college was "never let academics interfere with your college education"...HA.
Laura and I want our kids to develop the gifts and abilities that God has given THEM...We're not looking for little clones of ourselves. We are excited to see what God has created in our kids that is unique and that will bless the world in ways we never dreamed possible.
Look for and find the "Thumb Print of God" on your kids or wife or co-worker today and encourage them to be everything they ever dreamed they could be!
Blessings~
Jay

I liked your comment on looking for the "thumb print of God". I teach first graders and I try to look for the good but that was a gentle reminder as sometimes its gets harder here at the end of the school year.
Looking forward to the conference in Asheville this weekend.
