Mother's Day we dedicated Collin at our church. We vowed to raise him in a Christian home, teach him about Jesus and demonstrate God's love to him in all that we do. We dedicated him to God because we know he is ultimately His and we have just be chosen to be his earthly parents. We were told to choose a life verse for him. We chose the blessing that Jacob gave his son Joseph, since Collin was named after him and we pray his life will be fruitful and filled with God's blessings as he remains steady in Him. What a blessing it was to have all of our family there to share in that special day. We all had lunch at Ippolito's afterwards and celebrated Mother's Day.
"Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall...his bow remained steady...because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, because of your father's God who helps you, because of the Almighty who blesses you with blessings of heaven above." Genesis 49:22-25
Collin's 4 grandparents and 4 Great Grandparents were there!
All the Mothers
As my Aunt Jeannie said, "Being dedicated is hard work."
I'm so thankful for my own mother!
