.....4 YEARS AGO.....


On this date, four years ago......our precious little girl was baptized!


Oh, what a wonderful day it was.....all of our family was there to see her be baptized...showing the world that she had asked Jesus Christ to be her personal Savior!





It was such a day of celebration....for her it was an "outward expression of an inward change"!



It was her way to proclaim to everyone that Jesus had become the most important part of her life....and it was HIM that she loved and lived for!
She accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior on June 25th, 2004....then her baptism was in August.


She honors HIM every single day of her life.....and shows HIS love to all !

She has such a love for people....a Christ-like love...unconditional!!!

What a blessing this little girl is !!!

She is our GIFT!!!

OH HAPPY DAY....!
AMEN!

I know as a mom, the thing you want most in this life is to see your children loving and serving the Lord.
