A Blessed Day!

This morning Dr.Ron Matthews baptized Wilson into the Christian faith. God blessed us with wonderful family and friends who joined us in baptizing Wilson, promising to hold us as parents accountable for raising Wilson in a Godly manner. The service was flawless (minus the fact that the baptism well was not there at the beginning of the service). Wilson behaved, Bradley behaved (again..minus the fact that he found a random thread on my dress that he decided to pull on during the five minutes on stage...).

Anson read two verses that are our prayer for Wilson. On this Baptism day, we pray the words from 1 Samuel 1:27-28 "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshipped the LORD there." As Wilson continues to grow in his faith, we charge him with these words from 2Timothy 3:14-15 "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus."
