Henry was baptized this Sunday January 4, 2009. He was such an amazing little boy! We are so blessed to have found such an amazing church, and are looking forward to joining and raising Henry in the church. Henry's sponsors are Lindsey, Katelyn, Brian, and Nick. Here are a few of the highlights of the day! It was also my grandpa's birthday. He turned 70!!! It was hard to hold back the tears as I watched the water getting poured over Henry's head. It is such an enormous responsibility to raise a little one, and to know that I have the support of the church and Henry's sponsors makes carrying the burden of child raising a little easier.
Pastor Brook make a thought provoking statement when in his sermon stated this: What if each one of you had to take Henry home and be responsible for him. What kind of world would you want to make for Henry to live in? What changes would you make in your own life to create a better life for him? My little space in my pew became very still as we all pondered the enormity of that statement. I challenge each one of you to answer the question for themselves in their own lives.
