Really special Sunday

This morning Destiny and our pastor's granddaughter Kaity were baptized. As always, it was a great time of celebration. Our church family has been such a huge part of Destiny's life ever since she was an infant - three days old, actually! A sweet older lady named Hope came up to Destiny afterward and said that the Lord gave her Psalm 34:8 for Destiny. "Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man (or child) who takes refuge in Him." That is more appropriate than Hope realized, I'm sure. (If you missed my story about Destiny's asking Jesus into her heart, go back to my October 21 post.)


After the morning service we had our monthly fellowship meal, followed immediately by Christmas program rehearsal. When we left to go home, it was raining, a COLD, damp rain. I could hardly wait to get home.

This afternoon Lisa attended Jeremy's performance in Scrooge, the Musical. She was not allowed to video it, as I had hoped. But when it got to Jeremy's song, Thank You Very Much, she called me and I got to hear it. Wow, what a voice! There will be an official video that I'll be able to get after next weekend. To read Lisa's emotional account of the experience go to her blog,

Jeremy gets a hug from big sister afterward. Awwww. I wanted to BE THERE!!!

We took Destiny home this evening, got some groceries, and now I'm heading into the big one. A week from tonight I will be crashing big time.

Yes it is always a joy to see young ones be babtized. My oldest grandaughter Heather which you met last Sunday was babtized a few years ago. That was thrill.

Congratulations Destiny!

Oh congratulations to Destiny! I'm so glad there are pictures for her to remember this very important day. I wish I had some of the day I was baptized.

I love the photo of Lisa and Jeremy...you can see the joy and love in their eyes. I'll go now and read Lisa's post.

Hugs!

Hi, Jean, thank you for stopping by last week! It's so nice to meet you. We "B" girls had a lot of fun & I know you were missed by the other charter members. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Blessings!

Blessings to Destiny! What a privilege to influence a little one like you have and for her to accept Jesus then to follow Him in baptism! God bless!
