Spent the later half of Saturday celebrating Meg and looking forward to the upcoming wedding. It was lovely to spend time with Meg's close friends and to have some girl time and talk about the wedding!
Sunday morning saw us in church watching our oldest son give his testimony (the story of his life and his relationship with God). I love our church family and love how 'at home' my family feels there! I highly recommend finding a church home that makes you feel so glad it's Sunday!
Sunday afternoon we gathered with our church family, our physical family and dear friends to witness Kyle being baptized (a symbolic act of being dunked under water and coming out as a 'new person', symbolizing how our relationship with Jesus Christ takes our sins away and prepares our heart for eternal life with God)... such a big moment in a person's life and Shawn and I are so thrilled that Kyle made the choice to publicly declare his relationship with God.
So many reasons to celebrate and I was so glad to be able to attend each one of them! Yes, tears. Yes, moments of overwhelmed. Yes, I don't feel quick enough in my thinking to keep a conversation going. But a big YES!!!! that I am healthy and able to attend.
Smile in your day. Do it!!!
A great weekend of memory-making! What an honour & blessing to watch son #1 flourish in this way - a testimony to your consistent parenting, prayers & investment in him.

It's all wonderful! Xox
ReplyDeleteSo sad to miss Kyle's baptism, but so happy to celebrate these moments with you in spirit! Most of all, I missed hanging out on the beach with the fam! Will have to schedule a re-do :)
