miles was baptized a couple weeks ago. we celebrated with family. you can see the post about how we came to this decision about our children here. baptism is a beautiful "means of grace" given to us by Christ. we are thankful for this handsome boy with whom the Lord has seen fit to entrust us. upon his birth we committed to raising him in the faith and teaching him that the Bible teaches that we must turn to God through Christ in repentance and faith. we baptize our children as a sign of God's faithfulness, not of our (or miles') worthiness because we know that ultimately salvation belongs to the Lord.
it was early church and very torrential rain. marit promptly sat down on the floor in front of the font while graham held miles' hand.
here we are afterwards before we changed into play-clothes and ate lasagna and yummy pound cake and strawberry-rhubarb pie (thanks dave and carol!)
furrowed brow...already a thinker
