       "We are very proud and we are very prejudiced," read the graduation card. Another gift came in the form of A Jane Austen Devotional--yes this does exist. 

 

        Saturday, I graduated from college. And the most wonderful part was the host of family and friends there to share in the excitement and joy. Writing one million thank you notes tonight, I realized how incredible it is that people need people.
        Even the intrepid and independent Miss Bennet requires relationship. Elizabeth is dependent on her close friendships with Jane and Charlotte. She thrives on conversation with her father, Darcy, Wickham, etc. She receives the help and support of Aunt and Uncle Gardiner.
        All this to note that relationships pull us through the trial and difficulty and rejoice with us in the happy endings and new beginnings.
