This afternoon, I received an email from Mr. Squire stating that his college friend Antony would be getting baptized this Sunday, on Easter. Can there be any greater joy than learning that one more soul has sought and gained entry into the Kingdom of Heaven? I really don't think so. Few things (if any) fill me with greater excitement and jubilee. It is a mixture of relief, fullness of heart, and exuberant peace that I feel right now, upon receiving this news.
And what makes this joy even more amazing is... God somehow, in a tiny way, used the Squire wedding to help set off this happily ever after ending. According to Antony (we learned sometime last year), he started attending church shortly after our wedding because something in our wedding ceremony touched him in a deep place. Mr. Squire, who has never known Antony to show any interest in faith during their prior decade or so of friendship, was shocked and awed to hear this. I was humbled. And to know...now, Antony is safe in the arms of Jesus forever...wow. What a feeling. Nothing can top it.
Praise God!!!
