Easton's Baptism

what a neat experience it has been to be able to attend the baptisms of both Ashtyn and Easton this summer! because baptisms happen so often here, it sometimes seems as though these very sacred and special events become somewhat of a routine occurance. i had not been to a baptism in years and the spirit was so very strong at both of these baptisms. i was moved to tears at both, something i had not anticipated. i was reminded of how very important that decision is and how very loving our Heavenly Father is to give us the most special and important gift we will ever receive in this lifetime, the Holy Ghost. i felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude that my neice and nephew, as well as my own children, will have this special gift to help guide them to truth in a world that wants to deceive them from every angle. sometimes you need these little reminders in your life to realize that you too have been blessed because you made that very important decision to be baptized and receive that special help from on high. i know both ryan and i were reminded by the very strong spirit that was there.
