There are a few moments in life when I have clearly seen, felt, and known what this life is really all about. March 21st was one of those special days. Savannah had chosen to be baptized with her cousins on that day. All grandparents were able to come and participate along with many other family members and friends.
It was pure joy to see David and Savannah dressed in white enter the waters of baptism. Savannah was brightly beaming from ear to ear. I love how David bent over to kiss her on the head before using his priesthood to baptize her into Christ's church. I love that she choose to wear the white dress I wore after I was baptized. I love that she wanted me to make her a white dress to wear after she was baptized just as my mom had done for me. How special it was to have the 3 cousins share their special day! Thank you Chip and Liz for driving here!!
Savannah, Chase and Ally chose to sing "If The Savior Stood Beside Me". As they practiced during the week prior the the baptism, I would tear up. As the sang on their baptism day, Icried tears of joy. It was a little piece of heaven! Their beautiful, angelic voices blended perfectly as they bore witness to us of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so blessed to be her mother. What a tremendous example she is to me.
Later that day as we shared our thoughts and feelings of the day, Savannah shared with me that she could not put into words what she felt but it was the greatest feeling she had ever known! Savannah, you have worn 2 white dresses. What a wonderful day will be to see you in your 3rd white dress!
Here is Savannah wearing the dress I was baptized in.
