Well Done

 In our school system we have a class period called SRT or Student Resource Time.  Each student is assigned to a group for this class and they remain together as a cohort through all four years of high school.  This class is assigned a teacher who also is with them for all four years.  

The teacher takes a personal interest in the kids and helps make sure they stay on their path.  When graduation comes, the SRT teacher knows the students very well and has the privilege in helping congratulate their students as they come across the stage. 

This year Alex had her Dad for her SRT teacher and so he was able to be on the field in his own cap and gown to help present her diploma.  Our photographer caught this beautiful moment.  A child checking in with her father and falling into his embrace as he tells her he is proud of her. 

Heavenly Father knows us very well also. He is intricately involved in the details of our lives and will offer guidance and support.  He too will be waiting and someday we hope to hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

President Hinckley reminded us that the Lord does have a future for us and wants us to be prepared.  He said,

"God bless you. I pray for you, that there may be peace and love in your homes, that you may be prospered in your honest endeavors, and that when the time comes you may stand before the Lord and receive his welcome: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
