My family got a lot richer today, no not monetarily but spiritually. I witnessed one of my three children be baptized today. How awesome to know that what our grandparents on both sides began long ago with our rich spiritual heritage is continuing on through our children. It is not by accident that Bennett came to understand the difference between just knowing the facts and placing his trust in Jesus. It was because my parents and my grandparents, Doug's parents and Doug's grandparents unselfishly gave back to the Lord, seeking his face through ups and downs, trusting him to guide them through life, following his plan....Now Doug and I are the ones trying to set the example and teach truth through our actions and faith we have that God is superior to all and will conquer all. We serve a mighty God. That same God reached down and blessed our family today to witness this example of the next generation being a servant of Christ. By the way, he was the cutest little thing if I do say so myself. I love him so much!
