Celebrating Timothy's Spiritual Birthday

While our internet was down we have celebrated some family holidays which we wanted to share with you. One of these fun days was celebrating our youngest son, Timothy's, spiritual birthday. On May 3rd, 2010, Timothy prayed at our home and asked Jesus to come into his heart. Our little Timothy is the logical, level-headed one who is hardly ever moved to tears. Since he had been asking questions about salvation and about how exactly to pray for several weeks, as our other children did before they accepted Christ, we spent time with him confirming he understood completely. Timothy, without any hesitation, kept repeating he was ready and just needed to pray! We were a little taken back by his "matter of fact" manner but as we had already seen that is just how Timothy is. He was very excited to tell his brother and sister about his praying and accepting Christ. We rejoiced that now all of our children were saved! Timothy still talks about when he was saved and uses that event as a way to remember other events. For example saying, "I remember that before I got saved, we went to the zoo." We are so thankful for our children and the precious memories made with each of them as they tenderly accepted Christ as their Savior.

Here are a few photos of the celebration dinner and dessert!

Hot dogs on the grill was Timothy's dinner choice.


This small little chocolate cake sure meant a lot to him!
