This last year our boy Chris, chose to follow the example of our Savior and be baptized. It was one of the best things I’ve been apart of. In fact, he was baptized in the same church building and font I was baptized in, almost 30 years ago.
9 years ago Stacey and I found out that we were chosen to be Chris’ parents. His birth parents were not in a position to raise him at the time. And Heavenly Father aligned the stars for us to take care of him on earth. It’s a long story and I’ll tell it another time. I get a little emotional just typing this.
We have had an open adoption and Chris will occasionally talk to his birth Mom Kristi and his birth Dad, Christopher. Even though the two have gone their separate paths in life. I am so thankful to them and for them, for being as selfless as they have been. Most of his birth family (Mom and Dad) attended the baptism today.
My brother Dustin spoke on baptism and my Mom Sherri spoke about The Holy Ghost. The feeling in the room was overwhelming. Ava and Bevin sang. My Mom testified that Chris was the link that brought everyone in that room together. She had everyone stand up and say how they were related to Chris. This is why I believe God’s family is One. All of us. Because in the end, we as God’s children will be all linked together when we return back to him.
My Mom presented a photo (see below) to each family that represented ALL of God’s family. Most everyone in the room had tears in their eyes. Chris then ran to his birth Dad and just gave him a big hug. I cried like a little baby. This is what life is all about. Sharing and helping one another to get through the sea of mortality to our final destination. Every possible way. Even if we are in separate ships for a short time. All to get back to our Father in Heaven through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Thank you Stacey Casey Brad Mindy Bobbie Cristi Ed Tiffany Albert Ashley Travis Lesa Awwen Kristi , Chris and Sarah for coming.
