Sunday was Brylee's dedication, it turned out to be a great day, besides all the snow that came! I know that Bryan and I made the right decision to have Brylee dedicated.
If you don't know what a dedication is. Its a brief ceremony in which the parents make a commitment before the Lord to submit a child to God’s will and to raise that child according to God’s Word and God’s ways. The parents responsibilities in a Dedication are to making a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way, and prayerfully until the child can make a decision on her own to follow God. The parents who make this vow of commitment are instructed to raise the child in the ways of God, such as His values, and His principles. Some of the responsibilities include teaching the child in God’s Word, demonstrating an example of godliness, disciplining according to God’s ways, and praying earnestly for the child.
I hope this makes it a little bit easier for those of you that weren't entirely clear.
Along with Brylee's dedication Bryan and I had to chose a Life Verse that Brylee can use to guide her through her life.
Bryan and I chose 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
"Love is patient & kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures though every circumstance."
Bryan and I really wanted to let everyone that came know that we really appreciate you coming on Brylee and our special day! It was really nice to have all of our family there with us! Thank you for all your support!!! It really meant a lot to us!
Here are some pictures of the day!
