Baby Dedication

On Sunday, December 12th we dedicated Mae to the Lord. She is about the same age that Etta was when we dedicated her. (This post is from the day that Etta was dedicated.) Unlike other denominations the Baptists do not baptize babies. They wait until the person (child or adult) is ready to accept the Lord and then be baptized. (Bob and I were both baptized on October 17th, 2007.)

We gathered with friends and family to promise that we would raise Mae with respect to the Lord.

December was "baby month" (well, hello Baby Jesus) and I gave a testimony about our journey to our children.



Grandma Cathy and Baba Steve were in attendance.
