Baby Dedication

    "Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'"-Matthew 19:14
 
  On September 9th James and I had the girls dedicated at our church.  We both felt that it was important to make a committment publicly to promise to have the girls raised in a home where Christ was the center.  It meant the world to us that family was able to join and support us.  During the ceremony James and I both re-affirmed our belief that Jesus is Lord and renewed our wedding vows.  One of the best gifts James and I can give the girls is a healthy marriage to set an example for them, which is why we love the way our Pastor does baby dedications.  Following the ceremony our Pastor gave a very moving speech on marriage and divorce.  When we picked up the girls, we discovered that the church had given us some very generous gifts.  The girls each received hand-knit outfits and a children's Bible with their names in them.  We are very blessed to have a great support system.  Following church we all went out to eat and had a great time in fellowship with each other.
