Happy Baptismal Birthday to me! It's been 29 years since this day, and I think I can say that at least the weather projected for me today isn't nearly as interesting as what occurred on my baptism.
I've still got my baptismal candle, but that's pretty much the only reminder I actually have. Some people think you should light your candle every year on your baptismal birthday (I know that my dad subscribes to this theory because I've heard him suggest it at baptisms). However, I just like having the candle and that alone is a reminder. Plus, of course, the pictures.
I think it's important to remember this date as much as any other in one's life. I know that we make sure to at least mention Timmy's baptismal birthday to him every year, whether he actually understands the significance...that's something else. I am hoping that he does as he gets older.
Anyway, here's a few pictures that I have from my baptism. Enjoy!
