Baptism

You read that right, I am a proud mother of one amazing 10 year old baptised son. Daimen was saved last year around this time but because of two (leg/arm) casts he could not follow through with baptism. He met with the pastor 3 weeks ago and decided he wanted to be baptised. I could not be prouder. Fast forward to this past Sunday 3/22/09 at 11am, Daimen and I were in a little changing room getting ready for the service to begin, he had so much nervous energy and was grinning ear to ear.

The pastor came and showed him where to put his hands and what was going to happen, then 10 minutes later the children's pastor came and showed him the same thing, Daimen took it like a champ and just followed along.

Sarah came back to visit for awhile and then MeMe (pictured below) came to give him a big hug before the service. He had about 20 people in attendance to witness this remarkable event.
The service started and the pastor called him down in the water, he asked Daimen "have you accepted God as your Lord and Savior" Daimen says "Yes", the pastor "I baptise you in the name of the father" he paused so Daimen says...."Yes", the pastor "in the name of the son" pause, so Daimen says "Yes" again, pastor "and the Holy Spirt" Daimen says "Yes" again, pastor and congregation giggle at how cute all the "yes's" were and then under he goes. It was such a wonderful moment I will cherish forever. Daimen was so proud that the sermon that day included and was about the Lord's Supper & Baptism. He stated how he was so lucky to have it on the same day but I know luck has nothing to do with it. Thank you Lord.
