Giving Thanks, Day Twenty-One

Dedicating Our Children to God



What a privilege!  Yesterday, Joel and Sarah-Kate dedicated their newest children to the Lord.  It is something that we take seriously and is not just a routine, ritual, or formality.  Joel and Sarah read vows to their children and Pastor/Papa blessed them.  Pastor/Papa charged their parents, their brothers, the godparents, the grandparents, and the congregation.  He gave Deonte and Rhema a little Bible and charged Joel with reading and teaching the Word to them. 



"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." 
Psalm 127:3


Of course, we also had a great reception/celebration/party afterwards.  We are so thrilled to have Deonte and Rhema in our family!
