#219 - A Blessing & A Baptism

We went over to visit with Brian's g-father this afternoon. He is always in such good spirits! Even while laying there with a crushed hip and in pain he was still just his usual sweet self! He is such a blessing. :)

And tonight we had a baptism and that is very sweet too!

Revelation 7:12
"saying: “ Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”"

#120 - The Bees and Madison's Baptism

Holly and the Bees had their first game of the season this afternoon! They didn't win, but that is perfectly okay:) She hit it really good twice and made a few really good plays at first base! So proud of her!

We painted her fingernails to match her uniform!

This year she is one of the veteran returning players and she is playing first base :) We stopped by to get her these sunglasses before the game. Cool cat!

Batter-up!

Nana, Bella, & Amber came to watch her game too!

One down and many to go! Fun stuff!

After the game the girls and I headed over to Lexington for Madison's baptism. Mikey had sent me a message last week telling me that she had gotten saved! Such wonderful news!

So excited for her in her new life in Christ!

I pray Lord that you bless her and keep her heart guarded. Help her to always seek Your face for counsel in all things. Give her a hunger to know You more and to crave Your Word daily! Thank you for Madison, Father, and for her trust in Jesus!

Sweet cousins! Lauren had already gone to her class before I could get all four of them together.

But here she is!

And here is Miss Kathryn Reese!

Such a wonderful day and we are looking forward to resting tomorrow, both spiritually and physically!

Hebrews 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

#89 - The Fruit of the Spirit

We had a special baptism tonight. Normally they do them on Sunday evenings, but tonight we had two to be baptized! This little girl has 6 siblings! I help her mom teach a mission's class on Wednesday nights.

This is our Associate/Youth Pastor. He is filling in while our pastor is recovering from knee replacement.

For a prize in the class tonight Holly got these silly erasers. This is the new fad and the girls have fun collecting them. I'll probably have to devote a post on silly erasers soon!

Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
