God's Promises

This past Sunday was a very special Sunday for our little family. Brenda and I were able to present Irena for baptism. It was amazing to be able to hear the form read and to hear all that God promises in baptism. I have heard that form for my entire life and also have read it during other baptisms. But sitting there and hearing it read and knowing that it is applying to my own daughter was something else. It was a special gift to be able to hear these promises.

It was also very special to be able to baptize my own daughter. It was a very special moment in our families life. It was awesome to be able to share this with our immediate family as Brenda's parents as well as my parents, brother and grandma were all able to come. It is also very special to be able to answer the questions, and then to hear the congregations response to their promise of support in helping to raise our daughter! It truly speaks to the family of God! What an amazing Sunday!
