Today, two of my grandchildren were baptized, Kaleb and Madison. Kaleb is my twentieth grandchild, born September 20th. Madison, aka Madie was born October 21st. She was my 21st grandchild besides. I thought that was unique and mentioned it before I gave the opening prayer. I knew I would not have the opportunity to say it any other time in the service. The Spirit was so sweet and I could feel our family on the other side who had come to witness the two baptisms.
I know the veil was thin for those there and some mentioned it as well in the comments throughout the service. It was an honor to be asked to give the opening prayer and included in the program. Kaleb and Madison looker so angelic and as pure as two children could be who just turned eight.
Madie looked so cute in her whites and so did Kaleb. Each was baptized by their fathers. It is such a joy to me, a grandmother to see these rites of passages come to fruition in their lives at the appropriate times.
There was a well planned luncheon and it was such a joy to have all the family present who participated and attended. I appreciate the support of all the extended family in organizing this event. I felt the love and unity of the guests and family who came to support the two children being baptized. It was a special time to share it with the two. It as so kind for Kaleb to wait to be baptized with his other cousin, Madison.
He is such a fine young man and so sensitive to spiritual things. He has a tender side to him that is very Christlike and endearing. Madison is energetic and shows to be a hard worker, like her mommy and willing to do whatever is asked of her. She is a beautiful little lady already. She is growing up so fast and looked so sweet with her smile and braces on her teeth.
Congratulations to both of them.
