A Beautiful Service









It's been years since I have been to a church service that has left me feeling good when I walked out the door. Today was so refreshing, so calming, so holy, so beautiful. The preacher preached a fantastic sermon, the music was exceptional, the people were friendly and sincere. We felt so welcomed and then the baptism, which was more a healing dedication type thing was so filled with love and beauty that it left me silent.
Mei-Ling was her delightful self, full of smiles, that is until the healing holy water was put on her, then she cried, but only for a moment !
It was simply a beautiful day.

Here is the morning in pictures !

Patty...thanks for sharing the service and your beautiful family with us! I'm so glad you enjoyed all of it. I appreciate your blog and visit here often, and too, I've appreciated your comments at my blog lately. Oh, and I thought you'd find this fun... A couple weeks ago Tom and I drove past June Strong's house in Batavia. I would have taken pictures, but her house is up on a hill and surrounded by the trees she described in her books and there wasn't a good place to pull over across the street, either, etc. We'd looked for her house a couple times before and it was great finally finding it! (Long story...I'm wondering if they built another house on their land and are living in it now--I do have the pic of that-- because the number on the mailbox at that newer one is the same number in the phone book). Well, like I said... don't get me started. Just thought you'd like to know since you like June's books, too! Blessings, Debra

Mei-Ling is so blessed to have such wonderful parents and grandparents. Loved the pictures. You can just see the love and protection in Casi has he holds on to his precious family. Hope you and yours have a wonderful and blessed day.

I'm so glad you walked away from the service with such positive emotion. What a wonderful ceremony for Mei-Ling. I suppose being born is the start of one's spiritual journey, but a beautiful dedication ceremony is a lovely milestone.
