Baptism

Our church did baptisms yesterday. It was really special to watch an entire family - the parents and four children - being baptized. While watching them, Michael was completely enthralled. He clapped when each one was done.

Then he turned to me and asked, "Mommy, am I going to be baptized?"
I nodded yes and was going to explain when he then asked, "Right now???"
I told him no, not right now -- when he got older.

But tears were filling my eyes. That little boy asked Jesus into his heart a few months ago. He loves Jesus and it is such a blessing to see him wanting to do what God wants.

What a special little boy he is.

It's so good to hear our little ones as their hearts turn toward the Lord, isn't it?

I'm turning into an utter sap at baptisms. I just can't keep the tears away. :)
