The finest, purest gem in any Seniorls treasure chest is that which reflects, from a heart Filled with love and gratitude, our parents and teachers, we know now, if never before, that their criticisms and encouragements will be largely responsible for anything We may accomplish in life, and that their superiority was manifested in a gentler, more loving manner than any the future can possibly bring. Remember, Lord, that a full heart is also a heavy one, ease our burden by letting a little of the gratitude We have so seldom expressed spill over and at last reach those who so richly deserve it. Let them know, sweet -lesus, how much they mean to us, give them strength to persevere on their often cold and 'thankless path, and keep them warm in Thy heart, now and forever. Amen.
