BAPTISM

A few months ago, Jeffrey asked me if he could get baptized.  His youth group was holding a baptism and he wanted to be a part of it.  The difference between this baptism and the kind I grew up with is  Jeffrey was the one who approached me and wanted to be baptized. It's not better or worse than getting baptized the way the catholic church teaches; just noting one of the differences. I loved listening to him tell me why he thinks it's important and why he was making this kind of decision. I loved hearing his childlike responses that included, "the bible says to do it" and "I think it will be really cool".  I am so thankful to see my kids' love for God inwardly and outwardly.  The girls, of course, found out that he was baptized and both wanted to be baptized as well. So, this weekend, they were! It was a wonderful experience. Pastor Kristopher was so warm and genuine towards them, and helped make this a cherished memory for them.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to raise my kids to know who God is, make sure they know how precious they are to Him, how much He loves them, and the wonderful amazing plans that He has for their future. 

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
