Baptismal Birthdays


I did a major Mommy oops and neglected to write birthdays and other special days in my calendar this year. I intended to put them in the computer instead, but that didn't happen. Needless-to-say I've been missing important dates! We celebrated Braden and Colton's baptismal birthdays about a month late... (so sorry boys)! But whatever the date the celebration is special because they are a children of God and are welcomed into his kingdom!
For Braden's celebration Tom read Ephesians 6:1-4 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother—which is the first commandment with a promise—that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth. Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."

And for Colton's celebration Tom read Matthew 28: 18-20 "Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The affairs are not elaborate, but a wonderful reminder of that special day when they were so tiny! :) Colton couldn't understand why there wasn't cake at his party! :)
