The Sneeze - God Bless America
Truth or Fiction-We Don't Know, but what I know for Sure is that
the People of the United States, the babes in arms, the youth, the
middle aged, the elders always find a WAY ! This was sent to me by a
Beloved Friend, whose friendship I am all the richer for-Mrs. Pearl
Sirois
They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-three 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 he delivered his
speech.... an astounding SNEEZE!
The rest of the students rose immediately to their feet, and in unison
they said . "GOD BLESS YOU."
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. GOD BLESS YOU.
Leave it to our American youth to find a way!
