Emme's Dedication and Mother's Day!
Mother's Day was a special day to celebrate not only the blessing of being a Mom, but to dedicate Emme Jade to the Lord at our church. Jeff and I stood before our congregation with Emme and eight other families and promised to do our part in raising our daughter up in a Christian home. Each time we have done this with our kids I am overwhelmed with the responsibility I have been given. The responsibility to do my part in raising them in the way they should go. Faith is an individual journey. And my prayer is that each of our daughters will walk with the Lord when they grow up! With faith all things are possible. Jeff and I can only help to show them the way. Ultimately it will be their choice to live their lives for Christ. That is my prayer for each of them! God has blessed our family through natural birth and adoption. What a joy it was to celebrate that on Mother's Day! And, a double blessing to have my Mom with me this year! She has always been a role model in sharing her gifts and sacrificing herself for others. Thanks Mom!
"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they
are old they will not turn from it." ~Proverbs 22:6
