As a parent, I can’t think of many things worth celebrating more than the salvation of your children. I have been blessed to see my kids grow in both understanding and embracing the gospel. A month ago, I was honored to baptize my middle child Haddon before my local church. In our congregation’s tradition, we ask those coming for baptism to share their story of how they came to Christ and how they are growing in him. Listen, enjoy and rejoice in the fact that, by the grace of his Holy Spirit, God “drawled” my son to Christ. 😉
