Weston's Baptism

Weston's baptism was lovely. It's rare and wonderful to have all the people that mean the most to us in the same place at the same time. We felt incredibly blessed to be surrounded by family and dear friends.

Following the tradition of his dad and his brother, we had Weston baptized at Peninsula Lutheran Church in Gig Harbor. In his sermon, Pastor Jim spoke about the gift of God's love and how there is nothing we need to do to earn it. All we have to do is receive. He spoke of infant baptism and how it symbolizes this perfectly. Weston isn't old enough to understand it yet but God has a plan for him, will always be there for him and loves him unconditionally. Through his baptism he is sealed with the cross of Christ forever.

I pray that Ty and I are able to nurture Weston's tender spirit and bring him up understanding the beauty that comes from the Christian life. I pray that he finds the hope and peace of Jesus that surpasses all understanding. I pray that he learns to follow his heart and discern that still small voice. I pray that he always feels known, safe and loved.

Thank you, God, for the incredible gift of this child.
