Baptismal Blessings

There is just something special about Baptisms.  The blessings and prayers have such spiritual significance, and the traditions just give me goosebumps.  I can't seem to describe the miracle that they convey!

We Baptized our infant this past weekend.  Our church Baptizes mostly infants, but people of all ages still do receive this sacrament.  It was quite special -- as we used the Easter Vigil blessed waters for Baby "K's" Baptism.  We were surrounded by Easter lilies and family and friends.  I could not think of a better way to bring our child into the faith.

We enjoyed celebrating with a meal following the ceremony.  Baby "K's" cousins had fun holding him, and, well, throwing rocks into our pond and exploring the newly greening pasture!  Thank you all for taking part in our special day!!
