Andrew's Dedication

This past weekend we dedicated Andrew to God before our families and our church family. It is our mission to raise our little guy to be a child and man of God. We know that it will be a long road ahead of us to do so but we find comfort in knowing that we have so many people around us that will help. Not only do we want to raise Andrew up in God's eyes but as he grows we want him to display God's love through his words and actions.


With that we ended up with a 'theme' (wasn't completely planned, just worked out that way) of Letting Our Light Shine.

A little over a year ago I heard a wonderful updated version of the traditional song This Little Light of Mine. Andrew's aunt was wonderful enough to sing this song during the service for us. If you haven't heard it below is a link, you must listen, it is great.

Daddy read Matthew 5:14-16 as well...

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (NIV)

Our sweet boy did great up on stage, no crying or anything, a little fussy at one point but going after Daddy's Bible fixed that.

 Note to Andrew: Our prayer for you is that you will grow in life with Christ in your heart and let the light of Christ show through you. Love you, Mommy and Daddy.
