Gerhardt’s Rebirthday Party

Wednesday, September 5th, 2012

Today we celebrate Gerhardt’s baptism day. Since he’s not too big on sweets (I know, how is this my child?!) his treat….Goldfish Crackers, one of his favorites and since the Fish has long been a symbol of Christianity, I thought it worked very well for such an occasion!

Two years ago today we brought this tiny sugar to the waters of Holy Baptism!

Happy Baptism Day Clara!

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

On the 28th we celebrated Clara’s second “re-birthday”. And what a blessing to have her Godparents, Randall and Christi, who just happened to be here on this day from Texas to share it with us!

God’s own child, I gladly say it: I am baptized into Christ!
He, because I could not pay it, gave my full redemption price.
Do I need earth’s treasures many?
I have one worth more than any
That brought me salvation free,
Lasting to eternity!
