Poor Charlie Brown. Nothing could be more disappointing than going door-to-door with your friends on Halloween while they got candy, and you exclaim, “I got a rock.” It may seem like getting an acorn for making it into law school or a sapling when you graduate. Elon Law does this. It isn’t meant to disappoint but to encourage. My son’s sapling grows next to our driveway, a constant reminder of how far he has come. At the commencement, he only knew a little about law. When he graduated, he had all the makings of a successful attorney. Like the sapling that will grow into a mighty oak, he can grow strong, deep-rooted, and wise. Friend, this is God’s will for us in life. He calls for us to be deeply rooted in Him. This protects us against the storms of life that would otherwise blow us over. Draw close to God through a relationship with His Son. Pray. Obey. Read the Bible. He guides us, strengthens us, and nourishes us with these. Like the giant oak, you will grow strong and wise as you remain deeply rooted in The Source of Strength.
IT'S A HARnDen LIFE...
