Caroline's Baptism

Caroline was baptized on Sunday and it was such a special day. They had a very small intimate service with Leslie & Mike's close friends and family. We sang this song as the service ended and it was such a perfect song for Caroline.

"Awake from your slumber! Arise from your sleep! A new day is dawning for all those who weep. The people in darkness have seen a great light.The Lord of our longing has conquered the night. Let us build the city of God. May our tears be turned into dancing. For the Lord our light and our love has turned the night into day."

We are all praying that Caroline gets stronger and healthier so we can turn our tears into dancing.

Caroline wore the dress that my great grandmother handmade for my Dad and his siblings to be baptized in over 60 years ago. We love you Caroline!
