Gracie's Christening

We had Gracie's christening on Sunday and it was a beautiful day and ceremony. Gracie was surrounded by her family as she became a member of the Catholic Church. One of many beautiful cards that she received read:

"Christening is the gift of God's grace and love,
the celebration of a precious new child in His world,
a time to give thanks for the beautiful blessing of life.

God gave you a great treasure
of immense and untold worth,
And brought a touch of Heaven
to your lifetime here on earth,
For He sent you someone wonderful,
an angel from above,
When He blessed you with a precious child
to cherish and to love."

Today and every day we thank God for Gracie!
