No, this is not an announcement about any new additions to our family so just calm down already! This is about new additions to our church family. This weekend we had three baby dedications. It was awesome! They are a fun collection of little people. Two redheads and one brunette. Two boys and one girl. Two of them are the babies of the family and one is the firstborn. One has been as healthy as a horse, one has had many doctor visits, and one has been in the hospital so much that we are calling this one the miracle baby. Two of them were awake for the picture and one was sleeping like a log.
Don’t those mommies look beautiful? I think so, too. These three babies are unique and special in many ways. But seeing them be dedicated to the Lord made me realize what they all have in common. They are all loved. They are all a gift and a blessing. God has a great plan for all of their lives. And they will all be watching us, their church family, to model for them how to love and live.
Thank you, Lord, for this opportunity to watch them grow and to invest in their lives. It’s going to be such a great adventure!
