Baptism Day

Last Saturday was a beautiful day as Abby chose to be baptized. She had been looking forward to that day for a long time! We were so thankful to the family and friends who were able to come and missed my parents who could not be with us.

I was worried that in all the frenzy of getting ready for the baptism and the luncheon afterward, I would be too anxious to feel the Spirit. I'm thankful to say that I did have a sweet experience, and it came when the Stake Primary President had Abby stand up in her baptism clothes while the rest of us sang "When I Am Baptized."

I like to look for rainbows
whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of
an earth made clean again.

I want my life to be as clean
as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can
and live with God again.

I know when I am baptized
my wrongs are washed away,
And I can be forgiven and
improve myself each day.

I want my life to be as clean
as earth right after rain.
I want to be teh best I can
and live with God again.

It was a moving experience to see my sweet girl sing these words and to be surrounded by those who love her so much. I'm so thankful for her example to be baptized, and I'm so thankful that Eric was worthy to baptize her. I'm thankful for Lynn and Val who raised such a wonderful son, and I'm thankful for my parents for their support felt from far away. My heart is full for all my blessings!
