Dedication

Last week we realized that we had an opportunity, we were going to have family here on a Sunday! So, we made a phone call to our church and they graciously allowed Madeline Mae Grissom to be dedicated on very short notice. Our head pastor was out of town with family which was very disappointing, but Pastor Ben did a wonderful job. We have included a video for those of you who would like to see the ceremony. God has graciously entrusted us with this little life and we take this stewardship seriously. Our prayer is that she would come to know God's saving grace as soon as possible and dedicate her life to serving Him. The dedication was our promise to do our best to reflect Christ and ask others to hold us accountable to that promise.

We also have a short video below of Maddie "playing", she just loves to spend time on her play mat and is really studying the world around her so intently. The picture below is of Maddie in an outfit that Grandma Gini gave to her, it finally fits and she wore it for her dedication (and looked so precious in it!).

Ugh! Where have I been and how did I miss so many posts? I love you and know that you will be blessed for your desire to raise your baby girl in the admonition of the Lord.
