Baptism

{Family Picture in Church}

{Baptised by Pastor Lilian, the pastor who married us}

On Saturday, C was baptised as an infant. Although he was the one being baptised, the ceremony is really more for the parents rather than the child himself. The parents were asked to make a promise: a promise to bring up the child in the ways of the Lord and to try their best to provide the child with a growing environment that would most likely bring him close to God.

It is quite a scary promise really cos firstly, you are making a promise to God. God does not forget promises and when you make a promise like dat, you can be sure that He will hold you to your promise. Secondly, it is scary because suddenly, you are responsible for C's spiritual life. I can't be the lazy person I was and now I have a disciplined and hardworking mummy for C's sake.

I know that I need to depend on the Lord even more now and I pray everyday for C and RH: for C to grow up in the ways of the Lord and for him to grow well and healthy and for RH to be the family's spiritual leader that God calls him to be. For myself, I just pray that God will keep me always close to Him and will always remind me when I stray or have other idols.

So, above are the pictures from the Baptism. Too bad I only have a few pictures because the photographer was not very good at taking pictures.
