Baptism

I am grateful for the opportunity I had to attend a really sweet baptism this morning.  I need to attend these more often!  Everyone needs to feel and know the joy of the gospel of Jesus Christ!  There is a special spirit of peace, purity, and joy at every single one and it gives everyone there a chance to pause and think about covenants, what's really important, and what we can do to live closer to the Lord.

I had this song stuck in my head the rest of the day - One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.  It wasn't sung or played today, but it always comes to my mind quickly after a baptism, ever since I memorized it as a little girl to sing with my sister.  I love it!  I'm grateful for the truths it teaches.  It points to one of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon - 2 Nephi 31 - that beautifully teaches the doctrine of Christ:  faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.

I also love these songs....

• Baptism
• Come, Follow Me
• If the Savior Stood Beside Me
• I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus

....and am inspired to strive to live closer to the Lord, His gospel, His Spirit, and my baptismal covenants.
