The Dedication and the Blustery Day

What a wonderful day this was! Well, except it was 24 degrees when we left for church and 16 when we came home. Oh yeah, and the 35 MPH winds.

Having ALL of my children, my sister and my parents in church with me this morning... dedicating Beautiful...it just didn't seem all that significant. I LOVE baby dedications. Especially when the baby being dedicated is family. Awesome.

"Do you promise to raise up your child in service to Jesus Christ?"

"We do."

"Do you promise to pray for your child and teach your child about the saving grace of
Jesus Christ?"

"We do."

The prayer...and Happy asked ME if I would sing. I did. I did not cry and ruin it. The Holy Spirit was a very present help in my time of...well, there was no real "trouble", but I sure didn't think I could sing for my baby AND her baby. But with the help of God...it was a "Masterpiece".

Then the charge to the family..."Do you promise to pray for this child and these parents? To be a present Godly influence in the lives of this family?"

"We do."
