Old and New!

I snagged this photo from a Google search. I think it is Extremely fitting for today. My 2 younger sons were baptized today. They did an amazing job. The whole ceremony was a small intimate  gathering of friends and family. It was so great to see the boys take part in something so much bigger than them. Its for the Love of Our God.

My father said this verse 2 Corinthians 5:17 was the first verse he had ever had to memorize. And as i sat and meditated on this verse and what it means to me. I realized to myself.. Us joining this new church and being on this familial Adventure of learning the Love of God.. That is our NEW. The Old of our family is now past and GONE. Our New family is the family US And GOD. And He Loves US. And We LOVE HIM. We didnt realize we loved him so much until we Actually sat down and started to pray to him.. We have a NEW relationship with  him and we are HAPPY.  We didn't know anything was missing before but now.... we found what we weren't Looking for  LOL.

So all this old and new.. Its an amazing adventure. I am so excited for what tommorrow may bring! Aren't you? Do you have any favorite verses that you have learned that you may hold dear? I'd like to read them so that I may also enjoy them!

Hugs and Blessings!
