Easter Baptisms


When Makala was baptized on Easter she dunked her head under the water of the font and kept it there while the words "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" were said. This was not done to be silly or just for fun, but in complete seriousness by a sweet girl who had looked forward to her baptism. It was an honor to say the words as she was baptized by God through the power of the Holy Spirit.




Laina was to be baptized later, but her family arrived on Easter morning and her mother felt like it was the day. Who can get in the way of such motherly intuition. It was indeed the right day for this much prayed for baby (problems in pregnancy) to be baptized.



Both girls were sealed by the Holy Spirit in baptism and marked as Christ's own forever.

peace,
