Pastor's Note

Generational Blessing

 Permalink

There are moments when God draws back the curtain of day-to-day life and allows us to see the bigger picture of what He's about. Sunday morning, August 19, was just that. As Ethan and I headed toward the baptistry and we had a few minutes to talk, he smiled. "My dad says you baptized him, too." We stood together as the seven year old gave a clear testimony of his faith in Christ, now a little over a month old. Later in the service, I was holding Ethan's baby sister as Shane and Ruth dedicated her to the Lord. Ethan, Norah, and Esther come from sturdy stock. Lots of godly folks from both sides of the family going back for generations--my own life has been blessed by four! Ethan, Norah, and Esther have footprints, deep and distinct, to follow.
