Timothy Award

Last night we went to Lane's awards program. The children performed impressive amounts of scripture and songs they had learned through out the year. It was enjoyable time. Then came the awards. Lane did wonderfully receiving top grade certificates in Math, Spelling, Grammar, and Science. We were so proud of him. Then came the awarding of the Timothy medal. This award is the highest that the school gives and it is not based on anything but character. It is based on the scripture of 1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." It is quite simply a character award and the most highly prized at the school. I am honored to say the our son received that award for the first grade. It is an awesome thing to realize that the hard work you are putting into your children to teach them about having Christ centered values can be seen and appreciated by others. Needless to say, I was so proud and in tears when Lane's name was called. I could feel my daddy saying from heaven keep up the hard work, baby girl. See it is so worth it!
