Natalie's Baptism

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15

If we had spiritual vision, we'd be seeing the Holy Spirit pouring light and graces onto Natalie; the multitude of angels would be visible to us; and we would know without a doubt the ineffable power of God.

The baptismal gown Natalie wore is from the 1800s, passed along in my mom's family.
 The detailing on the gown is intricate and beautiful. The only yellowed spot on the dress is on the chest, which is truly no stain at all but an awesome reminder of the lineage of family who has received a blessing with the holy oil.

Wonderful! I can't wait to meet sweet Natalie! :) It's crazy to think that her little friend will be here in the next five weeks (unless he decides to wait a little longer).... :) God Bless!!!
