| Taken from "Speeddogs" Message Board Our Thanks and Love from the Baxley Family We honestly don't know where to start with this email. It has been two weeks today two of our precious gifts from God have returned to Him for eternal joy and peace. Oh how we long to be there also. Heaven was so sweet to us before when we longed to bow at our Savior's feet and tell Him "Thank You" for all He has done for us, but now Heaven is even sweeter and we just can't wait for that glad day when we meet again. Our kids (all 3 of them) we know are and were truly gifts from God as we dedicated each of them in our church to the Lord not long after each was born. Never in a million years did we imagine that we would have to give them back to God so soon though. We just thank God for helping us to raise them the way we hope He would have wanted us to(taking them to church, praying with them, and teaching them to love others as Christ loves us). Nathan was the best little 6-year-old boy any parent could ask for. He loved life and was full of life. He was 100% boy. He liked to play T-ball (and other types of ball). He really liked Spiderman and playing video games with his friends. His favorite color was blue. He had really started to like to go hunting with this daddy and help him with the dogs. He was on second grade reading and math (so he was a very bright student). He liked to be rubbed to sleep and we miss that very much. Madison was the sweetest most loving 8-year-old little girl we have ever known. She was beautiful inside and out and everyone that knew here knew that. She was like a little mother to her sister and brother and many cousins. She also was very smart in her school work and very good at baton, ballet, and gymnastics. She also helped me a lot around the house (a lot of times without me even asking her too). Her favorite color was purple and she liked cheetah print things. They both loved going on vacation and spending time with their family and friends. We than God that we were all able to spend 2 days together camping out at the Sandsifters Fox Pen in Clarksville, FL. They really liked camping in a tent and being in the outdoors. They played games, built card houses, played checkers, threw ball together, met many nice people and had a great time riding around with daddy & mama looking for fox hounds. We miss them and hurt more than we could ever say. We know God is in control of everything and His plans are perfect. We, although saved by His grace, are still imperfect and don't always understand things that happen in life. We also know that "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" Hebrews 10:27. We are all going to pass out of this short life as we know it one day when God decides. Most importantly though is we have to have our heart (not our mind) in the right place with God. We can't ride the fence and love God but participate in things of evil. The bible says we are all sinners and that we must ask God to forgive us of our sins and believe in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and we will be saved. He makes it so simple and loves us so much that he sent his only son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. No one is ever too young, too old, too bad, or too good to accept Jesus as their savior. So please don't forget to explain the plan of salvation to your children & give them the chance to accept Jesus. We look so forward to the day we will hug and kiss ours again in heaven one day. Stewart has made so many wonderful friends in the foxhunting world and we thank God for all of you. Your emails, cards, donations, visits, outpouring of love and mostly your prayers mean more to us than you will ever know. Please keep us in your prayers for the rest of our lives. Our sweet little 4-year-old Alyssa is doing good (she has a non-displaced fracture in her heel but didn't need a cast because it is healing fine). We praise God for taking care of her & letting us keep her. She brings us such joy and happiness. We love you all dearly and feel you are part of our family. We pray we will all be together in heaven soon. God bless you all and than you for everything. |
