Caleb's Baptism

Caleb was baptized on November 23, 2014 at our church.  After my mom died in 2010, Caleb began asking me many questions about heaven and about God and Jesus.  One morning, he woke up and told me that he had asked Jesus into his heart the night before.  I failed to mark this day down (I'll blame that on my own grief process and on being very pregnant), but Caleb has been insistent since then that Jesus is in his heart and that he will go to heaven someday.  He was four years old when this all took place.  We are so thankful that Caleb is our son and our brother in Christ.  I will always look back on my mom's death as a huge part of what opened the door for Caleb to begin to understand salvation.  We thank Jesus that He has paid the price for our sins and that someday there will be a most beautiful reunion with Christ and with those who have gone before us.

I will be so happy to see him there some day. What a special time. Mackenzie is getting baptized very soon. It is precious to watch them grow and hear their questions.
