We dedicated Jesse to the Lord the Sunday after Thanksgiving! A big thank you to both sets of Grandparents for hopping in their cars (on a day they probably would have liked to just rest from a busy weekend) to join us in celebrating our sweet Jesse Christopher!
At our church each set of parents is given a baton with a letter written by our pastor to be given to the child at their 18th birthday. It’s symbolic of passing on the faith, and though we know following Christ will have to be a choice Jesse and Asher each make for themselves, we pray to raise them in a home pointing them toward Jesus each day. As I read through Jesse’s letter it was hard not to get choked up at the thought of a tall, strong young man holding that letter instead of the sweet baby I see right now. I know it will go by in the blink of an eye!
Jesse, we love you so much! We are honored to be your mom and dad and pray that we will raise you in a way that honors the Lord and, one day, you will choose Him for yourself!
