God's Gift to a Father Part II

Several months after my son accepted Jesus, both of my children went to church camp. They left out early Monday morning. Jeffrey was having second thoughts about going because of his shyness. Tiffany on the other hand was gung-ho about it. This was odd to me as she was not saved and was not big on going to church. Never the less she wanted to go!

They were set to come home on Friday afternoon. That morning she called to let me know where they were at and that they were going to stop for lunch. She would call when they reached the church so I could pick them up. My boss came to me and said it was slow, so when they called I could go home for the day.

I was waiting for the call when I looked up and there stood both of my children, the preacher and his wife. All four beaming. The preacher said that we needed to talk. He told me that Tiffany had accepted Jesus the night before! She had not told me over the phone because she wanted to see my face when I found out.

Tiffany wanted to be baptized the following weekend. Jeffrey had not been baptized yet because he was just too shy to go up there in front of everyone. Now, though, Tiffany was going to, so he wanted to do it also. I guess there is courage in numbers.

That Sunday was one of the most memorable of my life. Watching both of my children professing their faith to the world.
