Emma's Dedication
We presented Emma to the church today to be dedicated. It was a special day. A day that I will always remember. Emma wore a darling delicate dress handmade by her grandmother, shoes and a cross necklace given to her by her great-grandmothers, and an intriguing and beautiful smile. All these gifts were special, but the most special thing that Emma received today was a church family. A family dedicated to teaching her about God. A family that will tell her about Abraham and Sarah, about Moses and his sacrifices, about Ruth and her faithfulness, about Mary and Joseph, and about Jesus and his never-ending love.
We made many promises today. We promised to give Emma to God. To allow God to control Emma's life. To be there for her and to raise her in a home full of God's love. To raise her to know God and to encourage her to develop her own relationship with him.
Thank you, God, for a glorious day and a beautiful dedication service. Thanks to all who helped to make this a special day for Emma.

What a beautiful family! Congrats on Dedication Day :)
Emms looks so darn cute. Happy dedication day to one of our favorite fams!
What a lovely post Kate. You are very special as are Emma and John Allen. God does have a plan for you. Pray for guidance and let Him work it out. I know it is hard, but when you are my age, you will be able to see so many ways that God was preparing the way when you didn't even know. I know you are weary about a job and a house. Meredith is weary too about finding a job. Pray for God's plan. And count the wonderful blessings in your life. You are so loved!
