Today was Baby Dedication!
Here are some photos of our special day!
Getting emotional now as Brandi sings a song called "A Mother's Prayer". Tears were flowing from this girl's eyes as I imagined my little boy growing into a wonderful young man.
As I looked on the large screens at all of the children being dedicated, their little innocent faces all round and sweet...it made me so humbled to be once again reminded that we are the ones God gave them to!
We are responsible for their lives and we were given them as a reward from our Father!
Oh the love that God has towards us!
As Easter, or Resurrection Day as I like to call it, nears us- I can't help but be overwhelmed, joyfully so, to know that because of that enormous love, God sent Jesus to die for us. Becuase of that love He GAVE his only SON to be our sacrifice so that we would have a way to heaven. Could you give your child up to die for people who hate him? Neither could I. But God did.
THAT'S how much He loves you.
And as I thought of this love I realized that Wesley can grow up and do so many wonderful things for God. Things that I have only dreamed of doing. But because I raised him to serve the Lord I do get to do the things he'll one day do. Because I had a hand in that. All the greatest missionaries and preachers around the world had/have a mother.
One that prayed next to their bed as they silently slept.
As I do.
