It has been the season of graduations and celebrations of all kinds. It is a time to rejoice in the achievements made throughout the year.

Yet it is sometimes easy to forget the people behind the achievements, the ones who counseled the students through tough exams, personal struggles and gave them confidence to keep pursuing their dreams. Who are those people for you? Or are you one who has been a support to someone else? What have you achieved so far this year? What are your goals for the rest of this year?

It’s also easy at times to overlook the Creator who has blessed us with so many things and great beauty in our lives. Even in the midst of struggling to achieve a goal, God is there. Take a moment this week to acknowledge God’s gifts in your achievements of this year or any year.
