Four years ago today we squeezed a triple christening in between family and fireworks, then came home and joined a church. This – religion, faith, spirituality – was important to me in my life post-marriage.

As parents, and as witnesses, when our children are baptized we make promises to be responsible for seeing to it that they are brought up in the Christian faith and life. I’ve tried to keep that promise as best I can, going to church as often as we possibly can (though sometimes we take breaks and there were several months when we stopped for personal reasons) and being as involved as my schedule allows.

Luckily for me, my children really, really enjoy going to church. And so does my husband. I’m so thankfuly God answered my prayers and sent me Darin, who has always been active in church.

When I met him, we started our journey in fatih together. He and Emma started coming to church with the kids and me near Easter 2008 and he’s been in the pew next to me ever since. In Sept. 2009, we had Emma baptized and he and I were confirmed as Episcopalians (I was Lutheran, he was Presbyterian).

This morning in church I was thinking about this, about the kids’ baptisms four years ago and how truly lucky we all are to have one another. It’s such a nice feeling.
