Is there anything better as a parent, than to witness one’s adult child profes their love for the Lord? I don’t think so. 🙂
All my children professed their love for the Lord from a young age and whilst I took great delight in it I always felt that the true measure of their faith is told once they mature and become adults or reach an age of accountability. And so it was with just a touch of pride that I witnessed my eldest daughter get baptised yesterday. We have never pushed baptism as we don’t believe it is a decision that anyone else can make for another person. It is an individual choice and declaration. What a blessing and an honour to observe this young lady grow and mature over the last few years… she has sought after God and has a a heart that seeks to honor the Word of the Lord.
Afterwards, we all shared a meal together and broke off into small groups to have a time of fellowship and sharing.
I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.

Wonderful, Susan. So very wonderful. xo
Wow! that is so neat! I look forward to that day with my own dd!
Oh that is beautiful, Susan. I can understand your joy. Such an amazing blessing.
Lovely news indeed.
Wonderful news Susan – yes it is exciting to be walking together with our children as ‘brothers and sisters’ as well as parent. We rejoice with you!
Praise the Good Lord for another lamb has entered his sheepfold and has completed the Journey with our Lord into baptism. God bless you all and may He continue with the rest of your little lambs to bring them unto Himself!!!
Hey Susan,
What a wonderful blessing to see your own child truly following the Lord! xxx
AWH! Brought a tear to my eye reading this post. I could almost feel the emotion in your words. xo
