We were privileged to be surrounded by family and close friends at church when we dedicated Isaiah to the Lord and ourselves as parents to training him to follow Christ. It's in those solemn moments when I realize again the huge responsibility I have as a parent to train and lead my children.
All of our children stood with us and for having no forewarning that they were going to need to stand still and quiet they did quite a good job.
Dad's sermon was out of Micah 6:6-8. What does the Lord require of us? To walk justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God. It was challenging for Jeremy and I to remember our own commitment to faith and our relationship with God. It also reminded us of how we want to train Isaiah and all of our children to live.
It's special that our children get a double blessing--having a Grandad and a Grandpa that are pastors.
