Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized

of him.

14 But John forbad him, saying I have need to be baptized of thee, and

comest thou to me?

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus

it becometh us to fulfil all rightousness . Then he suffered him.

16 And Jesus when he was baptized, went up srtaightway out of the water:

and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spririt of

God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved son, in whom

I am wll pleased.

When I am Baptized

I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
and ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
and I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high Sweet-ly sing-ing o’er the plains,

And the mount-ains in r-eply ech-o-ing their joy-ous strains.

Glo----ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o

Glo----ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o

Shep-herds why this ju-bi-lee? Why your joy-ous strains

pro-long?

What the glad-some tid-ings be Which in-spire your Heav’n-ly song

Glo----ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o

Glo----ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o

Come to Beth-le-hem and see Him whose birth the an-gels sing;

Come, a-dorehttp://rwis.mdt.mt.gov/scanweb/swframe.asp?Pageid=RPUStatus&Units=English&Groupid=267000&Siteid=267003&DisplayClass=Java&SenType=All; on bend-ed knee Christ the Lord, the new-born King.

Glo----ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o

Catherine got to pick her favorite baptism song and her favorite hymn.
She was so excited when we all sang Angels we have heard on high.

Baptism Day Part 3

Catherine's Baptism Dress

My dear friend Amy, lent Catherine her baptism dress. The dress that Amy's Mom made for Amy to wear on her baptism day. The same dress that her sisters and now her daughters have worn and will wear on their baptism day.



Catherine was given a journal to record her feelings about her baptism.
I know that God is real and I know that Jesus is real and I know that the Holy Ghost is real too. I love them and I am baptized I was excited. In the water I felt good I said WOW. After I was baptized I felt the Holy Ghost and I like it so much also I felt wet. I was so HAPPY. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.


I would like to say Thank You to all that helped with Catherin's Baptism. We are most grateful to the support of our Family and Friends

Catherine on her Baptism Day
For years she has been telling me that she wanted a white dress for her baptism
Catherine was so excited to be Baptized!!! Everyone that she has come in contact with for more than a year she has cheerfully mentioned to each and every one,

"When I am eight I am going to be baptized"!!!!!!!!!!

There were lots of times that is was not really appropriate to be talking about baptism in my opinion, and I feared that sense it was not "appropriate" that she would be shund or ridiculed, but everyone that she mentioned,
"When I am eight I am going to be baptized"
(there were literally HUNDREDS), they were all so gracious with her and celebrated in her faith and her excitement. Some of them even asked her questions about her baptism others reflected on there Baptism Days. Catherine bubbled with joy each time. I am positive that hundreds of people felt the spirit and there days were brightened by the sweet faith of Catherine. I know that mine were!!!
