I saw/felt/experienced when we follow the words/counsel of our church leaders, we are blessed.
Earlier this year, at Stake Conference, our Stake President counseled us that if we have children that are almost to the age of baptism, to teach baptism, teach of Christ, teach of repentance, baptism, covenants. Teach them about making this covenant.
So, we did and more so than we did with our older two. We made a more concerted effort to teach her and prepare her for baptism. In our studies together and with our children, we tried to follow the Spirit about the subject of study. We would suggest to each other several subjects and several times, our studies were directed to answer specific questions she had relating to baptism. How would we had known had we not listened?
So, today, as our third daughter was baptized, I felt a confirmation of the Spirit.
We, our whole family, were emotionally, spiritually, and mentally ready for this event.
Because we followed the counsel of our stake president, we have been RICHLY blessed.
Just a few of the blessings:
Testimony strengthened.
Faith in Christ increased.
Happy family.
Love at home.
Peace of the Spirit.
Hope to move forward.
