Today was a very special day. We not only honored our Mothers, giving thanks for all they do in our lives, but we dedicated our baby girl at church. We felt extremely blessed to have so many family and friends at church to share in our special day. We have attended TBC for nearly 10 years, and for a lot of our family, this was the first time to visit our church. It warmed my heart to see so much of our family worshiping together at our church, which we love so much. Ted and I were baptized as babies, but in our church it is called dedication. We are dedicating our child to God, vowing to raise her in the church, guiding her and teaching her about the Lord. And when she is a little older, and ready to accept Jesus into her own heart, she will be baptized. The following prayer says it best...
Dear God, please bless our baby. Keep watch both day and night as we raise our little miracle, so precious in Your sight. Please grant to us great wisdom, as we teach this child each day to follow your commandments, your holy will obey. We dedicate this child to You, our blessing from above, and we thank you Heavenly Father for Your precious gift of love.
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6
