People in our lives

This Sunday two big events are taking place, Mother's Day and Baby Dedication. This Sunday we are honoring all the mom's. This is my favorite job, to be Nicole and Natasha's mom. I know they are 21 and they are now mom's themselves but with this particular job this one never goes away (thankfully). I want to be close enough just in case they need me . Tasha has Gabriel who is almost 4 months and Nicole has Elias who is a 3 weeks today. Now as a grandmother I truly appreciate all of the stuff my mom had to put up with when I was a girl. I had my moments but my mother loved me regardless of what I did or didn't do.

Gabriel is going to Baby Dedication this Sunday



You are probably wondering what that is?? Many Christian Churches practice Baby Dedication instead of infant baptism. It is A ceremony in which believing parents, and sometimes entire families, make a commitment before the Lord to submit a child to God's will and to raise that child to according to God's Word and God's ways.



Parents responsibilities involved in Baby Dedication:



Christian parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way.

1 Samuel 1:26- 28 (niv)


I pray for our children, I pray they will allow God to work in their lives and in their children's lives. This is an exciting time for both girls and a stressful time. I just hope they enjoy this time with their boys. When I had them needless to say the first year was a blurr. I just hope they DON'T let stress take over. Life has a way of doing that, I hope they know we are here to be a support and anything else they need from us. When it all comes down to it that's all we have is each other. Nicole and Natasha your Mom and Dad love you more than life!!!!!!Don't ever forget that..........................................

Happy Mother's Day
