Baby dedication

Sunday was special not only because we celebrated Mother's Day, but our girl was dedicated. I love our church's baby dedication. It is really more a parent dedication. They have a nice dinner on Friday night (this time it was steak and potatoes!) where they spend time talking about what our responsibilities as parents are. They remind us that we can't leave it up to the church to disciple our children - it is our job. What an awesome responsibility. They print out the commitment we are making for us to sign making it more than just words. This dedication was also special because 4 of the other 5 babies (and that wasn't everyone - we are quite a fertile church!) are daughters of gals in my accountability group. It was a special treat to worship with my parents and sister, dedicate ourselves to raising this little girl to know and love God, and to celebrate mothers (being one and having them).
