Tuesday we celebrated Lily’s and Clara’s baptism days and Verna’s (Phil’s mom) birthday.
We were in Europe on Clara’s first baptism birthday so we combined the two on Lily’s. We lit our baptism candles, sang a hymn and said a prayer for the girls.
And of course we had to wear our party hats! Happy __th Birthday Verna!
“All Christians who have been baptized,
Who know the God of heaven,
And in whose daily life is prized
The name of Christ once given:
Consider now what God has done,
The gifts He gives to ev’ryone
Baptized into Christ Jesus!”
Paul Gerhardt’s “All Christians Who Have Been Baptized”
