Happy Baptism Day Clara!

June 30th, 2011 by Aubri

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!

Au Lac

Last week we loaded up and took our fishing boat out to the lake. Clara was too scared to get in but Lily went out on the lake with Phil and actually had a good time! Last summer was a different story. It’s fun to see her begin to want to do these things with her Daddy.

Clara was so happy to welcome them back to shore!

Such a big, brave girl!

The rest of us ate strawberries, sat in swings and picked flowers while we waited.

Last November (which is National Adoption Month) I asked my dear friend, Eugénie, to take some time to write the story of how she and her husband Jud were blessed with a baby girl through adoption. The Lord graciously gives His gift of children in different ways and by different means and in His time. I wept with joy when I saw how He had blessed Eugénie and made her the mother she always wanted to be. I’m so happy to finally be able to share her story here with you all.
