Sunday, 6/28/26, Went to first service at church, I taught Sunday school, left right after to go to Jacob’s baptism, Our seats were saved and Vikki and Kimmy let me know where they were sitting. We were right next to the rough Jacob was getting baptized in, It was a touching baptism and I plus many others were in tears. So thankful to God. We took everyone out to Olive Garden afterward. Bruce couldn’t come because he had so much to do at home, but Jack and Melissa rode with us so they could come, Fun time celebrating what God has done in Jacob’s life, came home, checked garden, pool, and bird feeders

Jacob giving his testimony in front of the church before he got baptized.  He did an awesome job.  I was in tears from him sharing, then Isaac came up from two rows behind us and just hugged Vikki for over 5 minutes and that made me cry more.  The Holy Spirit was really touching hearts.  

I am so proud of our first grandson following Jesus in baptism and committing his life to Him.  Jacob is a humble, repentant sinner, saved by God’s Mercy and Grace.  That is all it takes to receive Jesus as Your Lord and Savior.

Jacob being baptized

Our seats were right next to the aisle where he got baptized

He answered the two questions asked with a YES, a smile and it was done very joyfully and clearly

 

 

I couldn’t love Jacob anymore that I do

All of us at Olive Garden after church celebrating Jacob’s Baptism

Bill and I went to the first service at our church.  Worship was awesome.  I taught Sunday School afterwards.  I have new Kindergarteners and they were so good and so sweet.  Happy to have my last years class who are in first grade this year too.  Hunter was my helper and did a great job.  He dismissed the kids for me so I could leave a little early and go see Jacob be baptized.  Kimmy called and said that Jacob was in an accident in the morning, but was ok.  His car needs repairs, but we are so thankful he and the other person involved were both alright.  Thank You Lord!  We made it. with just being 5 minutes late and the service hadn’t started.  Abi had saved us all seats and everyone was there but us.  Kimmy texted me and Vikki called me to let me know exactly where they were sitting so we could find them fast and easily.  We sure appreciated that.  The worship was awesome.  Jacob gave his testimony which was so moving. We are all so proud of him.  His baptism was so awesome to witness.  What an awesome God we have!  The pastor gave a great message afterwards and then there was more worship.  

After we took lots of pictures, we all (except Bruce who had to get home because of so many things to do) went to the Olive Garden for dinner.  It was a nice time of being together and celebrating the important step of baptism that Jacob took.  Our servers were outstanding.  They were the best I’ve ever seen.  They brought more of everything out and kept asking if we needed anything more.  When we were done, the brought us bowls of candy chocolate mints instead of just 2 a piece like other Olive Garden’s.  Then I asked for two containers, one for my soup and one for spaghetti I had left over.  They brought me a new bowl of soup to go and I had a little room I it to add my left over soup.  Then for the left over salads, there were nice clear containers, with a take home dressing space included in it.  Everything was amazing and tasted so good.  We told them how amazing they did.  We left for home after we said goodbye.  Melissa and Jack rode home with us and we dropped them off at their house.  Vikki, Peyton and Regen headed back up to the camper.  Bill and I stopped at Panera after we dropped Melissa off and got a large lemonade to share.  We both read our Bibles and did our prayer/devotional.  Then we went out to the shed to see if we could find my my hammock that I set up when I camp.  It was up in the loft.  I got it almost all the way down the steps by sliding it, then when it came to the turn below, Bill helped do that part.  I drove my car back to the shed to put it in my trunk.  

I started tilling the garden and it was cool out so wanted to finish before we get the hot weather.  Bill did the outside row and I wanted to work til I got in between the rows done,  so he had to get me gas for it when I only had between 2 1/2 rows left. He did some hoeing under the fence even though I didn’t want him to.  Then he started spraying the wheels of the mantis with the hose so I made him go inside and i finished the wheels and I took the tiller things off and washed them.  He came back and wheeled the Mantis back to the shed and I carried the other parts.  Will put them on tomorrow after it dries. Then I had to set the live trap to catch a raccoon.  Now I have to go to bed because we have to be at Dr Bindon’s office at 7:45 a.m.  I have to take a shower in the morning too.  Time to go night night.
