Brenley and Beau made their confession of faith on November 26th, 2016 in the Garber Christian Church and were baptized in front of their family.
Beau and Brenley were joined in baptism by Cassidy, Alyson, and Blake, their cousins. The ceremony was attended by all of our family. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Not counting the 5 kids, there were 22 witnesses to this special event.
We all went back to Me Ma and Pa Pa's house for an early supper to celebrate. The house was full, but the weather was lovely and everyone found a space. We were so grateful to have everyone there to witness our two babies take this special step in their spiritual journey.
We gave the kids personalized bibles, and they were also given a few other special gifts to celebrate the event.
Tonight as Brenley was reading Genesis 1 to me tonight, I was so enamored with her as she loves reading her Bible. In our nightly prayers, she led this one and started it off with this : Thank you God for making space for 5 more people in your family and allowing us to step in and take our place. She then went on to say how grateful she was and prayed for everyone's safety at home, school and during their travels.
She amazes me every single day. Both kids do. They have such big hearts, and I am so grateful for that, because it's nothing we have taught. They are just good souls, and everyday they make us better parents. And now they have Jesus in their hearts forever, and well, it just doesn't get any better than that.
More pictures to come from Brooke's camera. These aren't great but they capture the day.
