I was able to attend a baptism today. For a man from the Congo.
I also conducted the music. A typical baptism program only has two songs--an opening and a closing hymn.
But, for this one, we sang several hymns in the middle, while waiting for him to get ready again after being baptized.
I still struggle to keep time, so this was a little nerve racking for me when I opened the program and saw the list of hymns. But, after the first 3 or 4, I kind of settled in and felt confident enough to immerse myself more in the spirit of the hymns. I think it was not a coincidence that this was the hymn we were singing:
This is a song that is often thought of as a "children's song", but really, it's message is for all of us. And today, it was precisely the message I needed and my Joyful Moment. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who finds a way to let me feel His love even when I don't know how.

I really like this song and the video. It shows that it's important for each of us to remember, no matter how old we are, that we are ALL children of God ALWAYS. (I'd forgotten that it has Scott's sister and brother-in-law and their daughter in it.) Your last sentence is true for me too.
