Appertized

We've recently had several baptisms at church and it has definitely had an effect on Abby. Our church practices full immersion baptisms and we have been having them outside in the courtyard. Watching the people get dunked under water disturbed Abby for awhile until I was able to explain to her that they are showing how accepting Jesus Christ into your life washes your sins away, kind of like taking a bath:) Ever since then, she has asked to hear the Bible story of John "appertizing" Jesus every night. She has also wanted to see the pictures of when Mommy and Daddy were "appertized" in a hotel swimming pool. I wish I were a better computer photographer so I could post them but they were taken with a film camera. It is such an awesome thing to see a young child be so interested in the things of Christ. She has such a wonderful heart and I pray that she accepts Jesus at a young age and that she can remain committed. It will be one of my happiest moments the day that Abby gets "appertized!"
