Tim and I wanted to share a few pictures from David Paul's baptism. The day was a beautiful one - sunshine and 70 degrees. David Paul was able to wear the "onesie" that Paul wore when he was Christened so many years ago.
He was also able to wear the Christening gown that was worn by Emily, Tracy, Tim, Peter and their cousins.
He was baptized in the church where my grandfather was pastor for 16 years. It was the church where my parents met and were married, and where I was also baptized by my grandfather. In fact, my dad was able to baptize David Paul and to wear my grandfather's robe (my grandfather passed away several years ago). We were so blessed to have such a deep, rich history of faith and family as part of the special ceremony. And even though David Paul screamed throughout almost the entire ceremony (he was only quiet when his daddy played the guitar and we all sang "Jesus Loves Me" and "Come Thou Fount" - our little man loves music!!) we know that he will appreciate it all someday.
David Paul is also blessed to have such wonderful men to show him how to be a man after God's own heart.
We were sorry we all couldn't be together but are so thankful that David Paul has such a wonderful family to surround him, love him, encourage him, and help him grow. We can't wait to see you all again soon!!
Great pictures! Wish we could have been there. David is blessed to have such a wonderful family! Love, Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day it must have been and such heritage. David Paul is soooo cute and I am glad to hear he has a mind of his own and wants to make himself heard on his baptism day. That must have been so cool when he was soothed by the music. We can't wait to see him. Carol
