“… she likes water.”

Last Saturday I stopped at a restaurant to pick up some lunch for my wife and myself. While I was waiting for the food to be prepared, I noticed a party that was occupying several tables. They were excited, smiling and doting over a very young child that was in a child carrier. They snapped photo after photo and sent them to their friends. I decided to walk over and find out what all the excitement was about. When I looked inside the child carrier, I saw one of the most gorgeous and happy baby girls ever. One of the men excitedly told me she was four months old. The baby’s mother quickly corrected him and said she was five months old. The mother told me that her baby had just been baptized and that’s why she was dressed in all white. When I asked if she cried during her baptism, the mother smiled and said, “No, she likes water.” This baby was truly cherished. There was so much love going on between those family members and that baby that I became overwhelmed and had tears running down my cheeks. All I could think of is how wonderful it would be if every baby were surrounded with that much love and how lucky I was to be there.
