A Blessed Baptism

Sunday was our daughter's baptism. Although it seemed like the long-awaited naming of our child was center stage, what I took away from such a special sacrament was that she was named before God and His Church for the first time. It was incredibly special to take part in vowing to do OUR best to guide our daughter in walking with the Lord and teaching her His ways. The church all joins in this vow and that, to me, makes a world of difference now that our firstborn is 2 and I know I can use all of the help I can get! There is so much to a baptism that is incredibly significant that I cannot even grasp, but I am forever grateful for such a special day for our Evelyn Claire. Here are a few special moments captured by a sweet friend:
