Yesterday was a beautiful day here in our little town. The weather was perfect with sunshine and not much wind. But the events of the day mad it even better. Yesterday was Lexi's baptism day. She told me she was a little bit nervous, which is very common, but she was so sweet about it. "I'm a little nervous, Grandma." We talked about what was going to happen. She was mostly nervous because she doesn't like water in her eyes.
Sometimes I wonder if children understand the importance of the step of baptism. Or do any of us for that matter. As adults we have a testimony of the importance of baptism, but do we understand the symbolism, the reasons, the need for it? It is a simple ceremony, but has lasting effects on us. I know this is something I need to study more. Put it on my list of things to do. Today, I am just focused on how much I love my granddaughter. Lexi was the first to make us grandparents. She is such a good example to her brothers. They are learning to call out her name when they need something. They follow her around all the time and she loves it. Both Koy and Kayden have such a cute way of saying her name. They make me chuckle when I hear them. They chase after her and do everything she does.
Lexi is a good student and an awesome reader. Learning just comes natural to her. She is the student every teacher loves to have because she just soaks in information.
I love all my wonderful grandchildren and look forward to the day of their own baptisms. I will do everything in my power to be there to share this experience with them.
Kids...I love you all.
