Last night we dedicated our sweet Addie at our church. I’ve been looking forward to this day since she was born.

When I think about baby dedications I remember Hannah from the Bible dedicating her son Samuel. She prayed and prayed for God to give her a baby. She promised the Lord that if He opened her womb, she would dedicate that child to Him. Her son Samuel grew up to become a prophet.

I believe that all children are a gift from God, sent to us from Heaven. I choose to raise my children in a home where they will learn about God, and Jesus, and the Bible. So I choose to dedicate my babies to God, that He may guide them and protect them all the days of their lives.

Today I am grateful for my church. I am grateful to call my church “home” and raise my babies there. I am grateful for the opportunity my church has provided to dedicate my babies to the Lord.
