Baptism Through the Eyes of a Child

Our Family Home Evening lesson was on baptism. Jeremy did a great job teaching Lily and showing her lots of pictures to hold her interest (for five minutes). At the end of the lesson he showed Lily the picture posted above and asked her what the people in the picture were doing. She answered "A high-five!" with enthusiasm. Jeremy was so surprised by her answer (because he was expecting "baptism") that he had a laughing fit. Lily looked at me like "what's his problem?", which made me laugh. The joke was totally lost on Lily.

Upon closer inspection of the picture we saw that it does indeed look like the man is ready for a high-five. We can't wait to see more of our church through the eyes of a child - our child. And perhaps the angels in heaven do celebrate with a high five when each of us decides to repent and come unto Christ. Out of the mouths of babes, right?
