Madison's Dedication

Last weekend, our baby niece Madison was dedicated to Jesus. For those who are not familiar with this practice, let me explain. Dedicating a young child to God is something that parents do in the Christian community. The parents stand before God and their church family indicating that they understand that this child is a gift from God and they plan to raise the child in His ways, ways that would be pleasing to Him. It was so wonderful to be a part of that with my sister Emili, her husband Walt and Madison.



After church we went out to lunch and then to a park to take pictures. Of course we went to take pictures, we all have a sort of obsession with photography.

It was a wonderful day, all about Madison. Lord we pray for little Madison that she will grow up to be a strong woman with Godly characteristics, give her parents wisdom and patience and be with they as raise Madi. She is such a precious baby girl!!
