Anais stared at Howard who is carrying his lovely baby boy. Mark on the other hand is holding the paper bag, holding the gift they both choose for Howard's baby. 
Anais is proud. It's good, it's always been good when it's God and His grace that changes people. 
“Can I hold him?” She spoke softly. 
Howard laughed and she smiled even more. 
He handed her the baby, and Anais carried her softly in her arms. She loved the tenderness, the softness of the look. It's going to be love by God, by the Lord Jesus Christ. 
Mark looked at her and then he went towards her. He happily looked at the baby in her arms and Howard looked at the two of them. 
“Do you want to carry him too, Mark?” Howard asked. 
Mark smiled and nodded his head. “I would love to, and Anais holding the child looks lovely to me.” 
Howard looked at the two of them. “How about you two? When are you planning to get married?” He asked them. 
Mark and Anais looked at each other and smiled. 
“It's already in our plans. We've been planning our lives this days. And at the same time praying for our Lord God's grace for our plans to be well.” Anais answered. 
Mark nodded and smiled. “The wedding might be coming up soon.” He smiled happily. 
They both looked at each other and smiled at each other. They've been in each other's lives for such a long time. And they've seen a lot of things, a lot of experiences and they've been having each other's support. 
“You've been so great together for the last years.” Howard talked. “I've seen it all.” 
Anais smiled and Mark did the same too. 
Howard looked his child and then smiled at the two of them. 
“I've seen the stealing of glances. That smiles you both have that is filled with joy when you see each other.” Howard added. 
“It's always in the silence of the two of you that I always see the great love that is in the two of you.” Howard spoke. 
Anais looked at Howard and smiled at him. “I'm happy you are able to find the love of your life.” She said. 
Howard smiled and smiled even more when he looked at his baby. “I never thought I can love someone of the opposite gender. But here I am, I love her a lot and I love our little one.” 
Anais smiled even more. “Know that I am always happy and proud about you, Howard. I pray that God will always take good care of you and your family. I love you.” 
Howard laughed and smiled at her. “My lovely best friend, it's always the good Lord God who really knows how to change us for the better.” He spoke. 
“Jasmine changes so much. She love the Lord Jesus so much that when I spend more time with her, the more I began to love her, the more she brought me close to our Father in Heaven.” He spoke. 
Anais smiled even more. “I remember how you hated her for a bit since she is walking a godly living. Yet it's in those moments I have seen from you how you also like the her, Howard.” 
Howard's smile widened and his eyes delightly looked at Anais. “Let me hug you later, okay? You've been such an angel in my life, Anais.” He spoke. 
Mark smiled even more. And he looked at a child. “Howard's right. And this little one right here, is an angel from our Lord God.” He looked the child lovingly. 
“Do you want to carry him?” Anais spoke. 
Mark nodded his head before Anais slowly yet carefully, handed the little baby to Mark. Mark held the child on his arms and he can't help but to smile as he looked at the child. 
Jasmine is approaching their way with a huge smile on her face. Howard's eyes glowed even more when he saw Jasmine walked towards her. 
Anais looked at the two and smiled even more. She's always been beautiful. Jasmine is always been soft, and careful, her ways are graceful. 
She's the type who loves to wear white all the time and loves everything about white lilies. 
Anais and Jasmine's eyes met and Jasmine smiled even more. Once she reaches Howard's side, she hugged her husband and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. 
Jasmine's eyes landed on her and she gave Mark a look before her eyes went to Anais. She smiled even more when their eyes meet. 
Jasmine went to her and gave her a hug. Anais received her warm embrace and hugged her back. She's always been such a graceful person, that is full of softness in her. 
That everytime she looks at Jasmine, she sees how she's such a lovely person with such a good personality. Always welcoming, always pure in her way of seeing things. Refraining from judgements, she's always responds with kindness. And always been careful with her words. 
Jasmine looked at her softly. “I'm glad you two are going to be one of the godparents of my little one. I know my child will be guided well.” She spoke. 
Anais smiled and nodded her head. “We will be just here whenever you all need our help and the One from above, our Father in Heaven will cherished this little one the most. As He is full of love.” She replied as she stared at their little one happily. 
--
The priest uttered a solemn prayer to the Lord God before he blesses the child. 
Anais and Mark smiled at how the little one cooed when his head received the cleansing with the holy water. Jasmine and Howard is full of joy when they saw how their child calmly cooed upon the pouring of the holy water and that even the priest smiled at the sight of the little one. 
As the candles are lit, Anais thought on how the child will always be loved by the Lord God who created us in His own image, full of love for all of us. 
And knowing how both of the parents love the Lord Jesus Christ, the child will grow in this world knowing the One who is full of love, the Savior of the world Who is both a holy child and the child of the Most High protecting him from all forms of harm. And will be walking with him, guiding Him in his holy presence till the end of his age.
