Today is a beautiful day, Matthew and Daniel were baptized in the Rush River. They met with Pastor Matt earlier in the week to prepare for today. It was overwhelming as a parent to see my young children accepting Christ as their savior! And we were greatly blessed to see dad and stepmom! He was very sick yesterday and wasn’t able to make it to the baptism but he came later to the house and it was wonderful. He and Irm were able to see the devastation done by the tornado here and I think that was hard for them as parents to see it all.
My dad loves life and comes up with the greatest gifts. With teary eyes he gave each of the boys a bar of ivory soap (still in the individual package) and said “Ivory soap is 99.99% pure but now you are 100% pure being washed in the blood of Jesus”. So the boys opened their soap and he had carved their names in the bar of soap AND he embroidered a pillow case for Samuel with his name on it (each of the other boys already have one).
