A Sacred Moment in Time


Yesterday at this very place,


My youngest niece, with the chosen name of Margaret, was baptized.
 I'm having a hard time finding the words to describe the beauty of this occasion.


And of her gown.


And of the family. 


And additionally things such as my sister's lovely blue eyes. 
And the other half of Oldest Son's smile. 
And Darling Daughter number two?

Providentially, the Godfather knew just what to say.


He made her an offer she couldn't refuse. 

Hello, Ella. 



But in the end, it was Maggie who led the way 
as we all were found going to the mattresses

Beautiful day. Beautiful child of God. 

The only wealth in this world is children;
more than all the money, power on earth, you are my treasure.
