Yesterday our youngest daughter was baptized. It was a beautiful Saturday morning -- warm and yellow with fall leaves. Dan and Michelle did the music, Suzette and I said the prayers, the Bishop and Primary President gave the talks. Your dad and Dave (my brother) stood as witnesses. Sabrina chose When I am Baptized and Child's Prayer as the songs. It sounds so simple laid out in this fashion, and it was -- it was a very simple meeting with the focus on Sabrina's baptism and confirmation, the way it should be.
Thank you for doing the most important part of the day. Thank you for being a worthy priesthood holder so you can use the priesthood in our home. That means the world to me. To us.
As a child I remember a few instances when there was a storm. There was a large tree not far from my bedroom window. The branches reached that corner of the house. During a storm the roof creaked and the branches rattled against the windows. On these occasions I equated safety with the power of the priesthood in our home. After that was no longer the case I felt vulnerable -- as if the walls and roof were hardly there. It is important to me to have that safety net around our family.
