"When I am Baptized"

So in primary today I got to see a song in a little bit different perspective.  The song When I am baptized goes "I like to look for rainbows, whenever there is rain.  And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.  I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.  I want to be the best I can, and live with God again."  "I know when I am baptized, my wrongs are washed away.  And I can be forgiven, and improve myself each day.  I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.  I want to be the best I can, and live with God again."


The primary chorister asked Senior Primary what it meant to look for rainbows after rain.  They  all gave some good views and perspectives for a group of  9-11 year olds.  But as they were talking about how they view rainbows and baptism, I had the thought and it helped me see things a little different to.


When we are baptized, we are washed clean, right?   The earth was also baptized and washed clean.  After all the rain, there was a rainbow as Heavenly Father's promise to us that he would never flood the earth again like he did in Moses's day.  So the rainbow's represents a promise of the cleanliness and purity of the earth.  Just like the earth, and just like Jesus Christ, we were baptized.  But unlike the earth and Christ, we make mistakes.  But fortunately we have repentance and the Sacrament to help us become clean again.  How wonderful is that.  That we have the opportunity each Sunday to repent and become clean again.  To do better than the week before.  And we have those "rainbows", or promises in our lives that Heavenly Father will help us, so that we can live with him again. 


I enjoy being in the primary and I love how Heavenly Father knows us and know in which ways to help teach us.  It is amazing.
