They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. (Psalm 145: 7, KJV)
God is good. Today my heart was filled to overflowing with His goodness. One grandson graduated from kindergarten and I was able to attend the event. Something that has not always been a possibility as a working mother/grandmother. How fun to congratulate him on completing the course and laughing at his response to his mommy's comment about "crying at his graduation."
"You don't have to cry, Mommy; I promise I'll be good today."
Plus, a Texas grandson is in town with his daddy for his heritage trip and his 6th birthday. I was able to splash thru the water at Mud Island's Riverwalk with him and congratulate him on his map skills---and for keeping me "directionally" on my toes. I wonder if I passed on some of my Ms Rand-McNally genes to him.
Sharing any milestone with a grandchild is worth celebrating. Kudos. Congratulations. Pats on the back. All are important ways to encourage.

| Celebrating cousins! Congratulations! More food was in their stomachs and on the table than on the floor! Celebrating laughter. John Parker's definition of his fish basket was priceless. "They killed a fish and made him into a chicken strip." |
Today, my utterance of His great goodness is that I'm still around to share these times with family.
We all need to celebrate each moment, be thankful and find reasons to serve a cuppa congra-TEA-lations to others---even in the little things.
