Bailey was dedicated on Sunday May 31st, at our church, Rockharbor. The church tradition of baby dedications comes from the Biblical story of a woman named Hannah in the Old Testament who was so thankful that the Lord had blessed her with a baby that she prayed to the Lord that she would dedicate her newborn son, Samuel, back to the Lord all the days of his life - "for as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord" - 1 Samuel 1:28.
As Christians, we use dedication as a chance to thank the Lord for Bailey; and as parents, we make a commitment to be held accountable before our church that we will raise Bailey to the best of our abilities in accordance with the Love that God has demonstrated towards us.
