In My Daughter's Eyes
Kate's baptism was this past weekend and it was so beautiful. It was so wonderful to see her as she willingly and bravely decided to enter the baptismal font and follow in the steps of our Savior Jesus Christ. What was wonderful was to see that she was glad and she gained a great peace knowing she was the one that chose to do this. It was all her. So beautiful. I don't know if anyone reads this, but for all of those people who have accidentally stumbled upon this blog it is not much. I do hope, though, you take from this an understanding that hey we all have a bit a beautiful roller coaster ride to enjoy here in life with our family and friends and we hold on to those moments in life when we know truly we got it right that day. Those moments that we know for sure God was happy with us that day. We all have them and hope for them. I have had them and as a mother there is only one thing greater than knowing God was happy with you. It is when you know God is happy with your child. When you feel you have given your child something greater than you. It was a day like that for our family when Kate was baptized.
I keep thinking of a song called "In My daughter's Eyes" I love the lyrics.
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
It puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
Thanks Kate! I love you.
Here are a few pics from that great day.
