Hymn Singing

We've had a lot happen in the last few weeks within the Hill household. Jedidiah was born on December 6th at 2:13pm--more on that later. We officially became Gainesville homeowners--more on that later. Sean got a full-time instructor position at FLVS--more on that later.

For now, I'll leave you all with our sweet firstborn singing hymns to us this Christmas morning. Lately, he's taken to grabbing the Trinity Hymnal from its resting spot, bringing it to us and saying "dee" (aka "please"), and sitting with us on the couch as we sing him a hymn--that is, until he decides he's had enough of it. Well, today, we caught him sitting alone with the Trinity Hymnal he had just retrieved, singing as he flipped through it. You'll have to trust me that it really is him singing. He certainly knows how to melt his mama's heart--now, if only he'd start saying "mama."::sigh::

"Boom" and "God"

Sammy's been on a "boom" kick lately. He throws his pacis back in the crib. "Boom!" He throws the silverware from the dishwasher to the floor.* "Boom!" He throws acorns down the slide. "Boom!" Okay, maybe it's more of a throwing kick, but he just gets so excited to say "boom." This morning he started taking the piles of folded diapers and throwing them into the laundry basket. Of course, "Boom!"



The best part is that, while replaying this video for Sammy, in real time he kept saying "boom" and answering our video voices with "God." I wish we had a video of that moment.

*I'm fine with this since it gives me time to clean the kitchen.

Hymn singing with Daddy before church

I distracted Sammy once I started filming. Before that, he was quite the little pianist. He takes after his Daddy.

Samuel's Baptism - July 10, 2011

-->

Samuel was baptized this past Sunday at Redemption OPC, witnessed by our families and our church congregation.  It was very momentous to stand in front of our brothers and sisters in Christ and vow to raise him in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

It is a blessing to us as parents to have our child become a member of his church from infancy, and it is our prayer for him that he never knows a day where he does not call upon the name of the Lord.

The following are the vows we took in front of the Lord and our church family on Sunday.  Our pastor specifically emphasized the third vow to us beforehand, saying if we don’t pray for our child as parents regularly, who will?  We pray for God to confirm his baptism by allowing us to witness his profession of faith in years to come. 

1 - Do you acknowledge that, although our children are conceived and born in sin and therefore are subject to condemnation, they are holy in Christ, and as members of his church ought to be baptized?

2 - Do you promise to instruct your child in the principles of our holy religion as revealed in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, and as summarized in the Confession of Faith and Catechisms of this Church?

3 - And do you promise to pray with and for your child, to set an example of piety and godliness before him, and to endeavor by all the means of God’s appointment to bring him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?
