As Only Your Mama Can......

You were very young when you first told me you wanted to be baptized....such a young girl, such a big step.

We asked you to wait.....and, you did...

I'm not sure now if that was right...to ask you to wait "until you were older" for I realize that you knew the truths that God asks us to know...

Finally, you told me, "Mama, I am ready...really, I don't want to wait any longer."

Upon the suggestion of your youth minister, I had you write a letter....about why you wanted to be baptized....

And, I found that letter today while going through a treasure box of yours....

Precious are your words.....and, sweet is it that you were baptized in the gown I wore when you were a baby.  My mama bought it for me to rock and sing and love on you. 

And, when that wonderful day arrived....you KNEW...you claimed the truths God seeks to hear from all of his children.....and, it changed us all.......

ILYAOYMC,
But....God loves you more....

Mama
