Kate Ellen's baptism....A Mother's Prayer

**If my words and pictures bore you....at least scroll down and listen to the song.....
What a wonderful day! Kate was baptized at our church, First Pres. Covington on 9/26/2010.  Our minister Rev. Dr. Scott Sealy baptized her and was assisted by Rev. Ricky Lyle, a dear friend.  Holly sang a verson of "My Wish".  We celebrated with great friends and family at our house for lunch. 

She is a child claimed by God, and she is part of His family and the church, sealed in the sacrament of baptism. We pray that she will take the faith as her own in the coming years....I look forward to the days of confirmation. I have always loved a phrase that one of my former pastor used often "May she never know a day when Jesus Christ is not real to her." 

I love to listen to music...and especially Christian music- it can really make your day much brighter to hear lyrics that remind us of our faith.  At Lane's baptism, Holly sang "Amazing Love", which is a wonderful song of God's love for us and it made me think of how God loved her before I could! At Bo's, she sang "A Mother's Prayer"....well just listen and you will see why!  I listened to this song today and couldn't hold back tears....click to listen for yourself!
