May 31, 2015 "Baby Dedication"

Lord,
We dedicate this child to you knowing there can be no better gift than living in Your grace, resting in Your love, walking in Your ways. You've placed this precious life into our loving arms. And now, with all our faith and trust, our strength and love, we dedicate this child to You. 

A Parent’s Prayer 
Lord, thank you for this little one
So fresh from Your hand.
But we know our time with him goes quickly
Like the hourglass of sand.
And so we ask Your blessings on us, new parents
Of this precious life we share
And give You thanks that You chose us
To entrust him to our care.
May we always see him through Your eyes:
In Your image – a priceless treasure.
Help us teach him to follow Your ways
So his inner beauty is of countless measure.
May we always hear him through Your ears:
A joyful noise in every gurgle and cry.
Give us wisdom to teach him well
So his words glorify You on high.
May we always touch him with Your arms:

Every hug a reminder of Your love.
Give us patience, guide our path
As we raise this gift from above.
Give us laughter in our home:
Giggles, plans and schemes.
Give us faith and hope and love
And joy and delight and dreams.
And when we come to storms in life
As we, no doubt, will
Help us lean on You, bring us close
And Your Spirit in us fill.
So rain down Your blessings on us, O Lord
And on Your little one so new
For he is Yours, but entrusted to us,
Before we give him back to You.

Our three sons mean all the world to us. How could something so perfect be entrusted to our hands? Why He chose us, I'll never understand. God blessed our lives when He gave us our boys. We are so thankful to all our family and friends who came to share in Rayden's dedication. Such a special day for our whole family. Thank you Dawn Wilkes for singing a special song for us.
