dedicating Michael to the Lord

Posted by: blissfule In: Egypt ()

This morning Ben and I had the privilege of dedicating our son, Michael, to the Lord. At Maadi Community Church this morning Pastor Murray held Michael as we vowed in front of the congregation to raise Michael in the ways of God, and not our own ways.

Some of the responsibilities we publicly agreed to fulfill:
  • Teaching and training Michael in God's Word,
  • Demonstrating an example of godliness,
  • Disciplining according to God's ways, and
  • Praying earnestly for Michael.
We were so glad to have my parents here to witness this solemn and happy occasion. A big thank you also to Brent who got up early to join us for the dedication and take photos!

Praise the Lord!  I think we are waiting to have Ben’s dedication for when his parents come to visit us this summer since my mom was here for Abby’s.  What a blessing!!
