Jaxon's Baptism

Children are truly gifts to us. Whether we carry them for 9 months (or less in many cases) or adopt them into our families, they are a gift. A gift from God, lent to us while on earth. We pray and pray for them from they time we decide to "have" them. We pray for so many things. One of the things Chris and I have prayed for our boys, is their salvation.

During our Bible lesson a few Monday's ago, Jaxon accepted Christ. He seemed so grown. I had to fight back tears. I was just amazed at how "big" he seemed. He just glows at the mention of it and was SO excited and ready to be baptized. Last night was his big night. He was nervous for the bigger part of the day (which I have to admit was absolutely adorable) but he did a great job! He requested a cupcake celebration after church. He wanted chocolate icing on his cupcakes with a white cross on each one. Many of our family and friends came to celebrate his big day. It was great and we are extremely proud of him.

Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him Psalm 127:3

He cracks his knuckles when he's nervous!

Pastor Dean used him to demonstrate!

It's blurry but he's "born again!" (look at Daddy-O
