Is there anything better?

Is there anything better than seeing your children come to an easy understanding and belief in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord?
Is there anything better than your children knowing that there are truly black-and-white's when it comes to faith and trust in Jesus? With God, there are no gray areas!
Is there anything better than knowing that your child knows Jesus and will spend eternity with Him in Heaven?
Is there anything better than seeing your entire family come to surround your child on the day of his baptism to emphasize the importace of this day to him?
Is there anything better than going to the baptismal preparation room prior to your son's baptism and seeing him smiling ear-to-ear, jumping up and down - not because he got a new video game or that he was getting to go stay all night with a friend, but that he was being baptized and he was thrilled!
Is there anything better than your son saying in the car on the way home from his baptism, "Mom, this was the best day of my life, wasn't it, mom?"
Is there anything better than watching my husband, who serves as the Children's Pastor, who led his own son to Christ after Vacation Bible School one night, baptize him?

Again, I ask...Is there anything better - this side of heaven?

You would be unable to convince me this date!
Hallelujah to His precious name...two up, one to go!

You're right and Jonah is right! That was the best day of his life. Love the way you worded it; two up and one to go! I'm so glad that I witnessed it. Jonah is a precious little boy that blesses everyone he meets with that precious personality.
