Most Special of Days

All Sabbath days are special, but today was one to remember. One that I hope my baby boy will always be able to pinpoint and remember in his Christian walk.
As parents we all pray that our children will really know the Lord and have a personal relationship with Him. We can teach them God’s ways, take them to church but ultimately it is between our children and God. If you are like me it is a scary thought….isn’t there anyway I can make them do this? Sign a promise that they will put God before all things?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Yet another test of my Faith.

I must trust that God knows and loves my children far more than I do.  He knows every detail about them and their lives and desires the same thing that I do.  But, unlike me HE is in control.

For a couple of years now, Kip and I have felt Hayden (and even Gillian) were ready to accept Jesus into their hearts as their personal savior.  But, we did not want to push it or influence the timing, we wanted it to be their experience.  Apparently today was Hayden’s day.   I am a bit sad I was not there to witness it, but so thrilled for my son.  What a blessing and a gift.

After several months of Christianity 101, Hayden along with four of his really good friends (dads by their sides) dedicated their lives to God.  I am so happy and proud of you sweet boy.

Glory to God in the Most High
