Sunday--June 9-- when our granddaughter, Emily,
asked her grandpa, Bob to baptize her. It is a joy to
see Emily make the decision to publicly declare her desire to follow Jesus. This has been a huge honor for Bob. His whole life is about our families.
He loves them all so much and does his best to help out in any way he is able. Standing and praying with Emily before the Lord and our church family was very humbling and gratifying. We praise the Lord for what He is doing in the hearts and lives of our family.
The story of Joseph in the bible comes to mind. Joseph tells his brothers that what they had done to him by selling him to slavery God used for good. We see that truth so very clearly in hindsight that the many things in our married life together, one month shy of 43 years, that were tough and could have been disastrous, God has used for good. Today I am able to say even the cancer diagnosis Bob received, the Lord has used in our lives to move us to knowing, loving and being more obedient to Jesus. God is so much more real to us. Eternity is more real...........................I really can't put it into words. Praise God from Who all blessings flow.
