This past Sunday I had a special event, I got baptized.  I found out that I had only been sprinkled.  I called to tell a very important couple the night before.  They don’t attend my church anymore and wished me well.   Sunday came and I was getting prepared and making sure my mom and sister had good seats when I found out that the information had been leaked and people had shown up for me.  WHAT?  People, that had stopped attending the church for various reasons, had shown up just to support me.  Three couples, including that special in their 80’s couple, and others came for the occasion.  It was emotional.  It was overwhelming.  It was wonderful! 

I can’t describe quite how I felt but I cried when I saw the people that came to celebrate with me.  It touched my heart so.  I say all of this to say that if you get the opportunity to support someone, do it!   Showing up matters!!!  You never know what being there can do for someone.  Keep showing up for others!!!
