We're Complete

The most exciting thing that happened this summer was that Ellie Grace decided to invite Jesus into her heart. We were thrilled. All of our kids have now come to a point where they understand (to the best of their capabilities) that Jesus died on the cross for their sins so that they can live forever in Heaven.

This past Sunday Ellie Grace was baptized. She was very excited. Daniel's parents even came in town to be a part of it. Our good friend and Minister of Music baptized her.

The baptistry at our church is up high above the choir loft area so that everyone can see. Behind the actual baptistry is a little landing where the family can come and stand with her without getting all wet. As we walked out to witness her baptism, Abby was so excited to be up so high in front of all those people that she gave her best royal wave to everyone. Of course, everyone was chuckling. Grandma tells us that she had a big grin to match the wave. Leave it to us to provide amusement during a baptism!!


We are so proud of Ellie Grace and were so blessed to have been a part of this day!!!

That is SO WONDERFUL!

I cannot wait for the day that all of my children have accepted Christ as their personal Lord & Savior. Ahhh, what a beautiful day that will be!!

Thanks be to God for the Gift of His Son.
