I am so thankful for the children's ministry at our church. It is a ministry that led me to the Lord when I was a child and I love watching Katie learn about God and get excited each week to go to church and recite her memory verses.
On October 21, we dedicated Baylor to the Lord and committed to raising him in a Christian home. The dedication service recognizes that Baylor will make his own decision to follow God but we commit to guiding him along that path as his parents and family.
After the service, there's a wonderful reception for the families of the babies who have just been dedicated. Each child receives a gift box full of goodies. My favorite thing in the box was a Jesus Calling devotional book for kids. If you haven't read the Jesus Calling devotional book for adults, do yourself a favor and get it. The kids one is pretty amazing too. I'm working on reading the devotions to Katie. I know some of the stuff is beyond her age range, but I think even the discipline of a daily devotion is a good routine to get going.
Here's some more pictures from the afternoon. I really love the one of Baylor and my dad!
