Baptism

Today I was given the Sacrament of Baptism.  Mommy and Daddy say this was a very special day because it's my very first Sacrament as a Catholic.  There was another baby being baptized too and he cried a lot.  I kept staring at him because I didn't know what his problem was.  We were baptized over the very same giant seashell that my daddy was baptized over in the same church.  It was a very special day.  I was given a new Nina (Godmother) who is my Auntie Meagan and a new Nino (Godfather) who is my Uncle Brian.  They both think I'm pretty cool and promised to teach me a lot about Jesus.  Mommy and Daddy are both feeling very sentimental about today because it marks the beginning of my journey with God.  They say I was a gift from God.  Well, I may not always be an angel, but Mom says I looked like one in this dress.

Lord, surround this child with goodness, lead her in your light each day.
Help her walk the path You've chosen, guide her steps along the way.
Teach her, Lord, to trust Your wisdom, with a faith forever new.
Keep her from all harm and bless her, with Your grace and gladness too.
