The McGuire Family: Kennedy's Baptism

Kennedy, while we were getting ready for Bible School on Thursday June 16th, you told me that you asked Jesus into your heart the night before. I was really excited and asked you what that meant and you said, "I made Him the boss of my life." I told you that was right and then just waited to see if you would keep talking about it and tell other people as well. That night as we were reading our Bible story I read the phrase Jesus is your Savior. You asked if Jesus is your Savior after you ask him to be in your heart because that is what you did last night. We talked for about 30 minutes about what it means to be a Christian and I answered all the questions you had. The following Wednesday afternoon we met with Mr. Heath Bryant, our children's pastor at church. He drew you a neat picture of Adam and Eve, sin, and the cross and explained what it meant to be a Christian. He told you the next step was to walk down the aisle during the invitation to make your decision public and then to be baptized. We let you decide when all this would happen and you walked down during on the following Sunday. You wanted to be baptized that night but Mr. Heath was out of town on a mission trip so we talked you into waiting until the following Sunday, July 10th.
Magan brought you a gold diamond cross necklace and gave it to you before your baptism. You love it and told me today you were going to wear it everyday for the next 600,000 days! After church we had a celebration here with desserts! Lots of family came to celebrate with you! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and have been praying you would make this decision before you were even born! We are so blessed that you are our daughter and can't wait to watch you grow in your faith and see all that God has in store for you! We love you very much Kennedy!

Kennedy and Lauren Reece. You both got really nervous right before it was time for the baptism so played a game of rock, paper, scissors to see who would go first. The first game was a tie and then you won the second so you chose Lauren to go first!
