Baptism

We were so blessed on Sunday to celebrate with family and friends the baptism of Nathan. What made the day even more special was that Pastor Tom Greener came up from Durham to lead the service. Tom has been the one to baptize all of our children.
After the service, everyone joined us at our house for lunch. It was just so wonderful to have all our family together under one roof. I say "all" but were missing a few family members. I am often envious of most people in Roxboro who live with a 2 mile radius of all their family. There's just something about having your family nearby. When I walked into the sanctuary Sunday morning, it was a great feeling to not know who to hand Nathan too or who to encourage the others to sit by.

That is WONDERFUL! Where did you put them all??? I'll say "here here" to being close to the family!
