Water Baptism

Dear all,

By the grace of God, I went through water baptism yesterday, 21st December 2008. Papa and Mama decided I look better and decided I should go ahead with my baptism. As I am only an infant, this baptism is more of Papa and Mama presenting me before God and the members of our church and pledged to nurture me in Christ's holy church, that by their teaching and example, I may be guided to accept God's grace for myself, to profess my faith openly and to lead a Christian life.

When I am old enough to make my own confession of faith, I will then go through Confirmation to profess my faith openly. In the meantime, Papa and Mama will do what they can to bring me up in the Christian faith and may God help them to do so.

I was still a little unsightly on the day of baptism due to my viral rash and Mama thinks it may be God's way to remind my parents that I was presented in humility. Not to worry though, Mama and Papa had brought me to see a doctor who said my rash is not contagious and I should be able to go ahead with my baptism.

Papa and Mama can only wait for my rash to disappear on its own. Meanwhile, Papa is on leave this week again and more outings and interesting experience awaits me.... :)
