Lily recieved the "sign of the covenant" yesterday at church.
I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around covenant baptism b/c its different than what I grew up with. We took a class before Peter's baptism so it was "fresher" in my mind. I agree with it in knowing that God is for us and pursuing us before we are aware of Him. And it is He who is the initiator with us, not us with Him.
"For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to Himself." Acts 2:39
We pray there will be a day when Lily trusts Jesus for her salvation and knows He has always been pursuing her.
I was embarrassed when I looked at these pics and saw how "improperly" I was holding her! Her dress was all bunched up! ugh.
Our parents, Lily's GRANDparents joined us for lunch. And they provided a YUMMY spread of egg casserole, muffins, and fruit!
There was an unofficial dress code of aqua blue, blue stripes, or yellow/green. :)
I couldn't get enough of her bare legs!!!
