Ive had a great time these past four historic period of high school. Ive had a potty of fun with my class. We need many memories together. The basketb every(prenominal) games, the parties, and all the fund-raisers for worthy causes.And, weve all been really engross with our own man-to-man equals, and I know that will never change.But, on top of my busy schedule, Ive learned something. And right now I want to tell you the more or less important Ive learned.Ive learned it doesnt matter what our day to day lives entail. Whether its doing homework or studying, working or singing, being the Strawberry Queen, playing tennis or playing piano, or even doing karate.Whats most important is loving matinee idolBecause, you happen, the memories fade away and the friends move away, we all know that, but beau ideal is always constant.Psalm 90 verse 2 says, Even from unceasing to everlasting, He is deity.I know I havent experienced as ofttimes as many of you have and I know I have a lot to learn. But, nothing I learn matters as often as my relationship with God.And a lot of you might say, Michelle, you do a lot for God. Youve been on mission trips and youre on the leadership team at your church.You could even say that the Senior Class has done a lot for God. Some teach Sunday school at their church, a hardly a(prenominal) help lead worship with music, and some run sound.These are all wonderful. But that doesnt matter. What matters is whats in here. Whats in your heart.All the other things are additions.I once read a quote that says, The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has penurious 30 years of his aliveness.You know that may be true. But allow me give you an even greater truth. The man who lives his live without Christ has adenoidal eternity.And that is a deadly and dangerous game to play.But you know what? Those who live for God have the hope of eternity to look forward to.Because God has given us a free gift.Romans 623 says, For the take of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.Class of 2006, I want to contest you.The ultimate truth is that our focus should be on God and not on this world. And always make sure that people can see God through you.
