A Special Day
"O God, it is our prayer that Clare will come to know the joy and suffering of being concerned about everyone she meets; that she will see each person worthy of dignity and acceptance. We hope for her a growth into fuller and deeper levels of humanity as expressed through Jesus."We pray that Clare will live in a world where justice is increased and where violence is decreased as a way to settle differences.
"Our hope is that Clare will understand that You alone can give life meaning and purpose and direction, O God; and that she will be on her knees before You with words of thanksgiving; and on her feet for You with deeds of love. This is our prayer. Amen."

Did you travel to Chicago for the baptism??
Hey there Mary Beth! This is your old McGavock friend, Shannon :-) I thought about you today and did a google search and found your blog! Hope to hear from you soon! My email is shannon at ledfordmedia dot com
HP--No, Clare was baptized at our church here in town. We used the Broadway liturgy at Joshua's baptism (at the church I was serving at the time), and would've loved to have used it for Clare. But alas, we did not. I wanted to acknowledge in some way that Clare is part of the Broadway tribe, so why not on the blog?
Shannon!--Long time no talk! Will email you soon! Thanks for stopping by!
Many blessings to Beautiful Clare!
