Tonight I so very much enjoyed worship. Ethan was home to lead singing. No offense to any of our wonderful song leaders, but Ethan is just incredible! We all love having him home. I am just sorry I will not be there to enjoy his leading Sunday too. Our men read the story of Jesus, in God's words, from His word. It was very touching. Behind me sat some of the sweetest voices I have ever heard and worship was so very special! And then.....
Our evening worshipped ended and moved right to a trip to the baptistery. As we moved there these are the "pictures" I will carry in my mind....
Seth and Ryan both went to "pull the curtains" which (funny to me but very serious to them) is a very coveted job.
My three stooges. I mean...really. They are! Don't you see the resemblance?
Beautiful sisters and friends helping the girls get ready.
Dan and Ryan pulling back the cover.....
Waiting for my curtain pullers.....
Pullers pulling....
What could be a better gift to me (as a mom) or to my beautiful girls as they enjoy the gift of Jesus Christ? Tasha and Lita were baptized last night by their Daddy. I just cannot tell you what a great Daddy my girls have. I always ask, "Who would you like to baptize you?" and the words, "Daddy" always pop out (as though mom has lost it to even ask??). Scott spoke together with them and read scripture. I am so proud of these girls!!
Is anything sweeter? Not really....although this sight? THIS is certainly one of the reasons why my children have the faith they have.... I caught Seth carrying his Daddy's Bible after getting dressed and heading back to the auditorium. Seth reading his Daddy's notes and scripture. EXAMPLE is one incredible tool! I so love seeing it done well:)
Oh, I love baptisms and what a perfect day for two!
