Big change in our life
Our little growing family of five moved into a bigger house in 1970 and life was good. Then one day life got even better. We were introduced to and began research on a new Faith. Both of us were raised as Christians and we belonged to a Christian church. My sister, however, had discovered a young religion called Baha'i in 1969 and she had embraced it. Followers of Baha'u'llah are known as Baha'is. Wayne and I read many books on this new Faith until we finally felt it to truly be the latest word of God to man and we therefore must embrace it also. On June 13, 1970 we officially enrolled into the Baha'i Faith. Now we believe every day is the sabbath day, not just Sunday. We pray every day and have the bounty of having prayers revealed by Baha'u'llah Himself to use as well as His son Abdul-Baha for spiritual guidance and sustenance. Based on Baha'i writings, we believe that work when done in a spirit of service is literally worshipping God. Such a good feeling. Three major tenets in the Baha'i Faith are that God is one, humankind is one, and all religions are one. We feel so fortunate to have found this new Faith.
