Peace like an Aggie

On the baptism of sweet Avner Lawson Grubaugh, a new church tradition was born...

It was a private baptism, and so we all gathered around the font.  Our six children plus four young cousins; the kids wiggled and whispered during the short service.

At the very end, the pastor prayed that the peace of Christ would be with us all, and then encouraged us to share that peace with one another.

Little did he know, the shaking of hands does not happen to be the tradition in our church.  When he bent down to offer his  hand to Aggie, her eyes began to dance as if this were the signal that the horrible sitting-still part of the service was over.  

She smiled, wound up, and gave the pastor an enormous high-five!

Welcome to the family, sweet Avner!
