In the midst of our life transitions, we asked Jon David if he would like to get baptized at Chattahoochee Valley church, since we would be stayed with Mom and Dad for a while in December. He was very excited.
He took the whole thing very seriously. I would catch him during the day, just sitting and thinking. He seemed to be pondering the event and preparing himself. I love that boy.
There was that one moment when I remembered: well, he is still seven years old, and his hyper personality came out for a brief second. *sigh* and chuckle. ;) But he quickly regained composure. Don didn't even notice. The moment lasted as briefly as it will take you to see the following pic. In fact, the only reason I got it on camera was because I was just trying to snap several shots, and when my finger hit the button, this is what he did. It cracked me up so much, because it is so Jon David. Oh God, take this little boy, and make of him what you will.
God bless you. Happy re-birthday, precious treasure!
How precious. The picture right after Jon David was baptized brought tears to my eyes - I imagine that is an embrace similar to the one our Heavenly Father gives us each day.
ReplyDeleteJust last night I had a long conversation with Mackenzie about Baptism. Must be the age. :)
Congratulations!!
This is wonderful! It's such a huge step. Maura is already asking a LOT of questions about salvation and baptism, so we'll just keep praying her into the Kingdom!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful story! I too had tears in my eyes when I saw the picture of Don hugging Jon David. He is blessed to have two wonderful parents!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious capturing of such a wonderful moment. I especially loved the picture of Don hugging JD. Certainly that moment will always be a highlight in both of their lives. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, he was NOT too young. :-)
