Elise's Dedication to the Lord



We dedicated our little girl at 6 1/2 weeks old.  We had grandparents there for the first time since we've had children.  And while its not a baptism, it is our promise that by the grace of God, we will follow Proverbs 22:6 that tells us:

"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."

We pray that they will come to their own conclusion that they are in dire need of a savior and their heart will obey the calling of our Lord to accept the forgivness and atonement that is ours through Jesus Christ.  And when it is their decision, they will be baptized for their own faith as confession to others that their life belongs to the Jesus.  We are so grateful to have a church family and some family that will help to guide them in this way too.  We appreciate your prayers for our wisdom in guiding little Elise.  We are so blessed to have the privilege of raising her.
