The older I get the more I find that I am open and even reliant on God's timing in my life. This past weekend was a perfect example of this as we had Ty and Wil baptized at ages seven and eight. After many conversations with Pastor Holbrook, it became evident to both John and I that baptism at any age is about recognizing the call of grace in our lives.
The service of celebration that took place in the Fishkill Creek at Hopewell Reformed Church was both powerful and simple. God's love was all around us as the boys took their baptismal vows; and we along with our church family committed to spiritually nurture and raise them in the Christian faith. It was clear as we stood side-by-side in the shallow water that this is what God had intended all along.
We are so grateful to be a part of such a healthy and spirited church and to have the opportunity to raise our sons in this faithful community. God bless!
