And the Sixth...

 

Okay, you've read the rules on other links. Here's the sixth photo from my sixth album on my photo program. 

This is from March of this year and shows the baptism of Brooke, our godchild, at FBC Kountze. That's her dad's head in front.

Brooke has Down's Syndrome. The time came, though, when she understood that she needed to accept the salvation that Jesus offered her. So she gave her heart to Jesus, met with her pastor, and was baptized. We were privileged to be part of that special day with her family.

Not too long after this, FBCK was burned to the ground through arson. The congregation has splintered. Other mean things have occurred there this year. What is precious about this picture is that it represents the truth: nothing matters but your personal relationship with Christ. Brooke understood this. So should we.

Five Weeks...

...until my little girl becomes a mother.

I was 26 1/2 when I had my first child. She's 26 1/2.
I had my first child two months before my 6th wedding anniversary. She's having hers one month before her 6th anniversary.
My first child was a boy. Her first child is a boy.
I named my child after a Bible character. So did she.

So many things are alike. Will I see myself in her labor? Will I be strong enough to see her through it? Will I be what she needs instead of what I need?

Five more weeks and I'll know.
