Dedication

Sunday was a very special day for us. We dedicated our sweet little Anleigh to our Lord Jesus Christ. We've had all our children dedicated at Bay Springs. It was a little bitter sweet. I was kinda sad knowing this was the last baby we would be dedicating. But also feeling so blessed knowing that by dedicating her, God is going to be glorified in every area in raising her. He gave her to us and we wanted to thank him and give him complete charge over her little life and all the plans he has in store for her.
Doug and I opened the service with the same song we sang at Luke's dedication:


Your Whole Life Long by Twila Paris

I pray the Lord will hold you close
And keep you through the night
That you will wake up smiling
In the early morning light
That He will always comfort you
And make you brave and strong
I pray that you will follow Him
Your whole life long
I pray that you will grow up
To be wise and good and true
I pray that you will please the Lord
In every thing you do
I pray that you will hear His voice
And learn to sing His song
I pray that you will follow Him
Your whole life long

I pray that you will follow Him
I pray that you will follow Him
I pray that you will follow Him
Your whole life long
I pray the Lord will bless you
With His presents everyday
And I pray he will protect you
Every step along the way.
Help you love what's right
And lead you far away from wrong
I pray that you will follow him your whole life long


I pray that you will follow Him
I pray that you will follow Him
I pray that you will follow Him
Your whole life long


That is my pray for all my children, that they will follow the Lord. That they will love what's right. That He will comfort them, bless them, protect them. They are such a blessing. We should treasure every moment with them.
