We dedicated EMH this past Sunday at church. Oh, how honered we felt to walk down the isle as EMH's parents and dedicate him to the Lord. We committed ourselves to the christian nurture of EMH who was entrusted to our care. We are so thankful and blessed to have this little boy in our life and as a our guest speaker, Evangelist David Ring said a few weeks ago " we don't deserve that either".
EMH did so good. He made a little cry during the prayer but that was all (it was getting time for his next bottle). He enjoyed listening to the solo which was sung by a father that was dedicating his son. It was a great song and he sang it very well. I caught myself singing it throughout the rest of the day.
Our pastor preached a great sermon on God's plan for human life. With all that is going on in our world regarding abortion, it is our duty as christians to stand up and fight for the life of these babies. He said when debating the abortion issue, if you put God in the equation then it just doesn't work. He told a story about a young woman whose mother tried to abort her 3 times but all three attempts failed and now when she is asked whether or not she would rather have been aborted or to live the life she is living, she says that she would choose life. How powerful this story speaks for the rights of the unborn. How grateful we are that AEH's and EMH's birthparents chose life for them.
We were so happy to have my family there with us Sunday. We were also glad that SLH's Aunt Kip was able to come but the rest of his family was not able to be there. Our nephew was being baptized at his church in Auburn, AL and we obviously felt that being there for him, was more important. We are so proud of his decision and are praying for him as he begins his walk with the Lord.

So happy for you guys! We can't wait to see what God has in store for EH!!
It was so special to see that sweet boy dedicated. I wasn't going to sit in the choir room and miss it!!
What a special day in your family...a nephew baptised on the same day!! Praise God!
Your family looks so beautiful. We love y'all!
What a blessing to have another boy dedicated to God. If there is anything this world needs the most is parents who dedicate their life to rearing their sons into Godly men who will one day hopefully lead this nation towards God's will. And to dedicate their son's to God. Baby dedications are such a reminder that our children are not ours but entrusted to us by God to nurture and rear for His kingdom, His will, and His glory.
What a joy! I know it was a super day! We love you all and miss you much! Praising God for your family and for EMH!
