Introduction
We leap so quickly
from project to project that we forget to settle down for reflection. So, as we
reach the end of the academic year, we pause to look back on God’s presence in
our lives. We meditate on the gifts God has delivered into our lives and on the
strengths God has given to others. We examine our shortcomings as members of
God’s community and look forward to improvement in the future. In reflection,
we will uncover the aspects of our faith that are so often hidden under the
stresses of our lives.
Reflection
should not be an act of over-analysis or anxious thinking. We intend to make
these devotions a celebration, rooted in thankfulness for all God has given us
in the past. We will recognize the gifts of our community and all who have
helped us during this academic year. We hope this reflection will make us more
appreciative and intentional people as we look forward to the future.
May
our recognition of the joys and accomplishments of this year give us hope for
the possibilities God holds for us in the years to come.
As we look forward to Summer and look back on this school year, please enjoy this collection of photos of Gustavus's beautiful campus and reflect on your own experiences in whatever communities you may inhabit.
