Sarah's Christening

On Sunday last October 14th we christened Sarah in Maudabawn chapel, the same church where the other two, Emily in September 2005,an d Lisa in June 2003. The same church where w e were married in July 2000, and where I made my first confession in, was it 1967?
Fr Kevin Cooney officiated at the baptism, as he did for the other two . Weather was, plaesent , warm, calm, and sunny, making it all the more enjoyable.
So Sarah is now a fully fledged christian, and that's the way she will remain until she has the reason to decide otherwise when she reaches maturity.
You don't hear much about orignal sin these days; that's the one you are automatically born with, and it's only with the waters of baptism that's erased. You can believe it if you like and a lot do. Dosen't seem fair that a totally innocent baby should be burdened with this big sin, before they can even utter their first gutteral sound. Anyway., thats christianity for you.
Back to last Sunday. She has 4 god parentss all our children have, Rosie's brother Gerd, sister Valtroed, Helan Markey and Thomas Wershmoller. Tomas couldn't make the trip from Germany, but the others did along with Roswitha's mother and father, who have been present at the other christenings.
Afterwards we retired to our house in Drumbinnis.Rosemary Connelly, like on the previous occosions provided the excellent food. Sundays meal was up to it's usual high standard and was savoured by all. Later in the evening, Squire and I played a few songs to round off the occosion, and what was a most day.
That will be our last christening, definetly, definetly.
