On December 7th we celebrated Callie's baptism! Justin and I are so thankful for her desire to follow our Lord's example and be baptized. It was in the 40's when we left the house that morning and our church has an outdoor baptistry...so it was COLD but memorable. Thankfully the water was heated. Memaw, Pawpaw and Uncle Mike were there, along with our church family, to witness the event. We went out to eat afterwards to celebrate!
Before she was baptized Justin and I gave her a little cross necklace to commemorate this special day. Now she can look back on that and remember that she was baptized wearing it and perhaps pass it down to her daughter on her baptism day. Too precious!
This was such a beautiful day for our family and I will always cherish it in my heart. It was so special to us that Justin was the one who baptized her! As I watch my beautiful daughter's faith continue to blossom, I am humbled at the important task we have as parents to teach them about the Lord and his ways.

Russell accepted Christ as his Savior the Saturday before Callie's baptism. What a special weekend for both of them (and us!) :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat picture of dad and daughter.
