This was sent to me.
What do you think of this?
Sneeze....
They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing
into the already crowded auditorium. With rich maroon gowns flowing and the
traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. Dads
swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears. This
class would not pray during the commencements ----- not by choice but
because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it. The principal and several
students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling.
They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned
divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their
families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine......until the final
speech received a standing ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the
microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it
happened. All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!!
The student on stage simply looked at the audience and said, "GOD BLESS YOU,
each and every one of you!" And he walked off stage... The audience exploded
into applause. The graduating class found a unique way to invoke God's
blessing on their future with or without the court's approval. Isn't this a
wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends.........and GOD BLESS
YOU!!!! In God We Trust, United We Stand. This is a true story, just
recently happening at the University of Maryland. It's inspiring.
