Ava's Dedication Day

Our Family Verse:

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Jeremiah 29: 11-13

October 4th was Parent/Child Dedication at our church. We are so thankful to know that the Lord will give us wisdom and guide us as parents, what peace! We are also blessed to have a wonderful family and church family to support us. My prayer for Ava's life (actually from the day I found out I was expecting) has been first and foremost for her to have a heart that Loves Jesus, to listen to Him as he guides her life, and to truly love others with God's love.

This day was a very special day for our family. We made our commitment as parents to put Jesus first in our home and lives and to teach Ava by word and example about her loving Father. Ditty and PaPa were there to pray with us at church and Karo and K-Bob were sending their love and prayers from Houston (as they had the swine flu that week)!

"The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love...the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children." -Psalm 103
