Yesterday I dedicated my son Carson, and my nephew Calvin to the Lord in a special ceremony at Severn River Church. Over the last few years I've always enjoyed the special ceremonies that Pastoral ministry has afforded me. Weddings, funerals, baptisms and baby dedications are wonderful and spiritual moments.
I've done baby dedications for my own daughter, my niece, and children of good friends from the church, but yesterday was the first time I've ever done more than one at a time. Having both boys was a real treat. They were both very cute all dressed up. I wish I had pictures to show you, but I was in a lot more pictures than I took yesterday.
These two precious boys are embarking on a life that holds infinite possibilities. Baby dedication is about the parents, extended family, and church family recognizing their responsibilities for the godly upbringing of these children. We dedicated them to the Lord for His good pleasure to do with them and call them to whatever he wishes. We view our time with them, rearing them in our home, as a gift and loan from the Lord.
I was a proud father and uncle yesterday. Thanks to everyone that was a part.
