Dedication

There are so many things we can dedicate to the Lord, but in my opinion one of the greatest is our children.  I really enjoy baby dedications.  It is beautiful to see a man and his wife go to the front of the church and dedicate their baby to the Lord and their lives as parents to train that child in the ways of His Word.  The seriousness of this ceremony hits me and it is good.  It is a covenant we make with the Lord that as we do our best as parents training our child in the ways that they should go, that child will not depart from it.  Proverbs 22:6 says Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  One of the blessings of homeschooling is that we have that opportunity to daily train up our children.  I hope that as couples dedicate their little ones that they really grasp the covenant they are making before God and man.

Last Sunday I got to be on the Grandparent side of the dedication and it was beautiful.  As we walked up to the stage with Brent, Latisha, and August, I was filled with such happiness and had to fight back the happy tears.  I know Brent and Latisha will do their best to raise August for the Lord and it so blesses me.  August did amazing and was extremely handsome.  God is good and we are so grateful to be watching our children passing the Christian faith to their own children.  As grandparents I hope we can also be positive influences in the lives of our grand babies.  I look forward to many, many more to come with a grateful heart.  Have a great day, and remember God is good.  Alicia
