Molly was baptized Sunday by her daddy, along with my nephew Ben. It was a great blessing to the new year. Four years ago, Rook and my sister in love, Sharon were baptized on the same weekend. I'm thankful that a lot of family and former Sunday school teachers and encourager's came and celebrated Molly's baptism. Adeline Leggett said, "I saw you being bathtubized Molly!"
What a wonderful thing that God has created us in His image, giving us a spirit,soul, and body. With His spirit, we can have a personal relationship with Jesus and know Him in a personal way. Even though, it is hard to understand, Jesus' spirit lives within us.
May we all, daily reach for more of You, seeking you,drawing close to You, and choose to live in Your presence and in Your love. Help us to make spending time with You, a priority everyday. In Jesus' name, amen.
