Carington's Baptism...January 4, 2009

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16

"that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" Romans 10:9

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 6:23

There is no happier a moment for a parent than when their child accepts Christ as Lord and Savior. In December 2008 that moment came for Carington Paige Morris. Becoming a Christian had been an ongoing conversation with Carington for about the past 3 years. It was neat to see the Holy Spirit really begin to work in her heart the last few months as she really realized that she was indeed a sinner and if she died she would not spend eternal life with Jesus in Heaven. Before going to bed she told her daddy that she was ready to ask Jesus into her heart...so Robert lead her in a prayer as she asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior.

We were so thankful that she was able to be baptized at our home church, FBC Tulsa while we were home for the Christmas holidays. All 3 sets of grandparents were able to attend and people who had watched her grow up and had a part in her spiritual life were able to be there. Our pastor and friend, Deron, gave Robert the special opportunity to baptize Carington!! A moment we will treasure forever! The candle you see our pastor holding in one of the pictures was given to Carington in remembrance of her baptism date and as a reminder to light it on January 4th every year to always remember the special day in her life.
