A Mother's Day To Remember
Beata has been thinking about getting baptized for quite a while, since last year actually! We have gone from "Yes, this Sunday" to "You are not ready yet, darling!" stage. We just needed to make sure that she is ready and that she knows the reason for being baptized. Baptism will not save you. Your salvation is not determined by your baptism. Baptism is a way to show others that you are following Jesus' example, and your way of telling others that you are saved and you trusted Christ to be your Saviour.
She has been ready since mid-April, but her grandparents are away on vacation in the Philippines and she wanted them to come to church and watch her get baptized. So we waited for six weeks until they return. And they came and watch on Mother's Day. And not just them, but the whole family on Raymond's side of the family.
She was excited. She kept jumping while she wait to get in the baptistry. I kept asking why, she said she doesn't know. She's just happy. It brought a smile in my heart. It's amazing what faith little children have, and how much we learn from them.
I am sure the last picture says it all.
Though she's out of focus and my flash did not recycle and fired on time,
I just have to post the picture.
It's certainly a Mother's Day to remember.
