At The Parsonage and About The Hair
Monday, November 18th, 2013
As promised some more pictures of our newest addition. I think I’m finally getting used to the hair but I still can’t look at her without being reminded of Liza Minelli….
Uh Huh.
Mercy’s New Life
Tuesday, November 12th, 2013
Sunday Mercy was baptized. Phil lets me chose the hymn we’d sing that day, a perk of being Pastor’s wife!
The hymn I chose was See This Wonder in the Making, a sweet simple hymn with a line I loved:
“Miracle each time it happens, As the door to heaven opens
And the Father beams, “Beloved, Heir of gifts a king would covet!”
The miracle of rebirth offered again and again on sinners is a wonder. Baptisms never get old. Over and over again God lavishes His love and forgiveness on sinners and we get to see it happen.
This line also made me think of the wonder that each baby we have is. Six times we’ve been blessed with a new life and it never ceases to amaze me, the miracle that these babies are. A miracle each time it happens.
We open our worthless arms to another child and offer our meager thanks to a loving Father who has given our sweet tiny Mercy new life.
“Here we bring a child of nature, Home we take a newborn creature,
Now God’s precious son or daughter, Born again by Word and water.”
Mercy’s Homecoming
Friday, November 8th, 2013
Wednesday Mercy got to come home and meet all the Wildlings.
And by “meet” I mean be mauled.
