Dedicated

Today was Children's Dedication day at church.  If you remember (no points taken away if you don't) we dedicated G way back in the day.  And when it came to be that Children's Dedication day was coming up I decided we needed to dedicate the other two as well.

It's a sweet little thing and it's not a baptism or a christening or anything like that; it's just recognition of the parents and the growing family and their desire to raise their children up Christians.  It doesn't even require that the children become Christians - that of course is their own decision - it's just the parents saying to their village, "hey we're here! Raising kids. Thanks for supporting us."

And the church prays over us and the children and it's just a sweet thing.  It made me happy today.

Brian and Valerie were there and we went out to brunch afterwards.  And Miss J and her frilly socks and mary janes are just the epitome of sweet.

It was a nice day.

And an aside ... I don't think I'll ever hear Can't Stop the Feeling by Justin T without thinking about the boys and I dancing to it at the mother son dance.  :)  A happy memory.
