Graduation, Father’s Day and Trinity Sunday—amazing how these three celebrations meet today! Each is unique in its reason and purpose. And yet, all are the same in their source and existence. It’s all about family. Our God, our Dad and our Grad are who they are because of the family of persons in whom they live and love. It’s a mystery, both human and divine, into which we have all been initiated. An awesome and precious mystery given to us for safekeeping! And so, with lots of humility, a touch of anxiety and plenty of love, we meet today to celebrate Graduation, Father’s Day and Trinity Sunday.
KidsRelig congratulates all of our graduates today. And the only advice we have is what our good friend Dr. Seuss once said about the art of eating popovers. Quoting his Uncle Terwilliger, he observed that to eat these things you must exercise great care and “swallow down what’s solid . . .But . . . you must spit out the air!” So, concluded Seuss,
“And as you partake of the world’s bill of fare,
That’s damned good advice to follow.
Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.
And be careful what you swallow.”
